Mahler – Symphony No. 1

Year of release: 2012

Here is the young Mahler, full of optimism. We hear his love of nature and beauty, and his childhood memories: fragments of distant military music, birdsong and Yiddish folk tunes, as the composer completes his journey from hell to paradise, in the footsteps of his idol Beethoven. – Iván Fischer
