Mahler: Works

Immerse yourself in the profound and powerful compositions of Gustav Mahler with the album "Mahler: Works." This collection, released on March 12, 2021, under the Andromeda label, showcases Mahler's mastery of classical and orchestral music, spanning a rich duration of 2 hours and 4 minutes.

The album features a stunning array of Mahler's most celebrated works, including his monumental Symphony No. 1 in D Major "Titan," a piece that exemplifies his innovative approach to symphonic form. The symphony's four movements, from the slow and deliberate "Langsam. Schleppend" to the stormy and intense "Stürmisch bewegt," demonstrate Mahler's ability to evoke a wide range of emotions and atmospheres.

Also included are selections from Mahler's deeply personal and introspective works, such as "Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen" (Songs of a Wayfarer) and "Kindertotenlieder" (Songs on the Death of Children). These vocal works, presented here in their orchestral versions, reveal Mahler's profound sensitivity and his capacity to express the deepest human experiences.

The album also features the first movement of Mahler's Symphony No. 10 in F-Sharp Major, a work that reflects the composer's complex and turbulent emotional state. This symphony, left unfinished at Mahler's death, offers a glimpse into his evolving artistic vision.

Recorded and filmed in the intimate setting of Wyastone Concert Hall near Monmouth, this album captures the essence of Mahler's music with clarity and depth. Whether you are a longtime admirer of Mahler's work or a newcomer to his compositions, this album offers a compelling introduction to the genius of one of the most influential composers of the late Romantic period.
