Symphonic Poem in Two Parts "Titan"

Album by Gustav Mahler & Netherlands Symphony Orchestra & Jan Willem de Vriend

Symphonic Poem in Two Parts "Titan" is an early version of Symphony No. 1 by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1888. The work combines late-Romantic orchestration with expansive thematic development and folk-like dance rhythms, using abrupt contrasts of mood that signal Mahler's evolving approach to symphonic form and his role in the transition to large-scale modern symphonies.
