**** ‘[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.’

Valery Gergiev, London Symphony Orchestra
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’.
