Symphony no. 1

Album by Gustav Mahler & Antwerp Symphony Orchestra & Edo de Waart

Symphony No. 1 is the first symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, composed in 1888. It draws on late-Romantic orchestration and Lieder-derived motifs, combining expansive, programme-influenced structures with stark contrasts of colour and mood, and marks an early stage in Mahler's development from song composer to symphonist.
