Symphony no.1 “Titan”

Album by Gustav Mahler & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Yuri Simonov

Symphony No. 1 'Titan' is the first symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1888. The work combines late-Romantic orchestral colour, expansive developmental passages and folk-derived melodies, employing large-scale instrumentation and structural juxtapositions that mark Mahler's transition from song-cycle writing to his mature symphonic approach.
