Description
This new 2 channel Hybrid SACD recording of Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 in D, sometimes known as the “Titan”, features one of the most highly sought after conductors working today, Sakari Oramo, and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Finnish conductor Sakari Oramo's skill and commitment to the highest quality music-making have earned him the greatest respect and widespread admiration. He appears regularly with the word’s most prestigious orchestras such as the Berliner Philharmoniker, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, NDR Sinfonieorchester, the New York and Oslo Philharmonic orchestras, and was music director at the CBSO between 1999 and 2008. He has produced a number of highly-acclaimed recordings for Bis, (a Sibelius symphony cycle), Warner Classics and Hyperion. He has also been a recipient of numerous awards, including an Honorary OBE from HM the Queen in recognition of his services to music.
Gustav Mahler composed his Symphony No. 1 in D major between 1884 and 1888, but made significant revisions to the work during 1894. It was premiered in Budapest in 1889, where it was presented as a five-movement piece under the title "Symphonische Dichtung in zwei Teilen" (symphonic poem in two parts). In subsequent performances the piece was presented as "Titan," eine Tondichtung in Symphonie-form (a tone poem in the form of a symphony). “Titan” refers to the book of the same name by the German writer Jean Paul. After further revisions, however, Mahler dropped the title, the descriptive movement titles, and the Andante second movement, called "Blumine".
