Symphony No.1

Album by Gustav Mahler & Zubin Mehta & New York Philharmonic

Symphony No. 1 is the first symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1888 and first performed in 1889. The four-movement work blends late-Romantic orchestral writing with folk-like melodies, bold shifts in mood and innovative use of orchestral colour and texture, signalling Mahler's development towards large-scale, programme-inflected symphonies that expanded the expressive scope of the genre.
First released: 1982
