Symphonie no. 1

Album by Gustav Mahler & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Klaus Tennstedt

Symphony No. 1 is a symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1888. Marking an early large-scale orchestral statement in his career, it blends late-Romantic orchestration, folk-influenced motifs and dramatic contrasts across its movements, and represents a formative step towards the expansive symphonic approach he developed subsequently.
First released: 11th October 1991
