Mahler: Symphony No. 1

£7.99
Select format

Mahler completed his First Symphony at the age of 24 and the work was considered a remarkable achievement, especially for someone so young. The symphony was originally conceived as a tone poem in the form of a symphony. Mahler drew inspiration from nature and described the epic final movement as a journey ‘from inferno to paradise’.

Reviews

“

**** ‘[The performance] adopts a relentless rhythm, lively tempos, and is distinguished by the excitement of accents, and disdain for any destruction.’

- Le Monde de la Musique

‘The result, with the LSO playing with marvellous expressiveness and energy, is irresistible, at once disciplined and joyfully spontaneous.’
