Mahler: Symphony No. 1 in D - “The Titan”

Album by Gustav Mahler & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Leonard Bernstein

Symphony No. 1 in D, "The Titan" is a symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1888. The work exemplifies late-Romantic orchestral writing with expansive structures, dramatic contrasts and folk-inspired material, and it stands as an early, formative milestone in Mahler's development toward larger-scale symphonies that helped bridge 19th-century tradition and emerging modernist approaches.
