Symphony no. 1 “Titan”

Album by Gustav Mahler & Česká filharmonie & Karel Ančerl

Symphony No. 1 “Titan” is the first symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1888. The work is an expansive orchestral composition that blends late-Romantic harmony, folk-like motifs and programme-inspired ideas, and it occupies a pivotal place in Mahler's output as he moved from song settings to large-scale symphonic structures, helping to influence later developments in orchestral repertoire.
First released: 1995
