Immerse yourself in the rich symphonic traditions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries with this captivating album featuring two distinguished orchestras and their conductors. Armin Jordan leads the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande in a powerful rendition of Gustav Mahler's monumental Symphony No. 1, nicknamed "Titan."

Complementing Mahler's symphony is Max Reger's "Eine Ballett-Suite, Op. 130," performed by Joseph Keilberth and the Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg. This six-movement suite is a delightful exploration of character and dance, each section evoking a different mood and personality, from the march-like "Entrée" to the lively "Finale."
Recorded in 1990 and released under Warner Classics International, this album offers a total duration of 1 hour and 9 minutes of exquisite orchestral music. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album promises a rewarding listening experience, showcasing the brilliance of both composers and the exceptional skill of the orchestras and their conductors.
