Immerse yourself in the profound and evocative world of Gustav Mahler with this captivating album, featuring his monumental Symphony No. 1 in D Major, subtitled "Titan."

The four movements of the symphony take you on a journey from the slow, nature-inspired opening to the stormy and intense finale, showcasing Mahler's unique ability to blend orchestral power with deep emotional resonance.
Complementing Mahler's symphony is Jean Sibelius's hauntingly beautiful "Valse triste," drawn from his incidental music for Kuolema. This melancholic waltz adds a touch of Nordic introspection to the album, providing a striking contrast to Mahler's monumental work.
Recorded with meticulous attention to detail and performed by a top-notch orchestra, this album offers a rich and immersive listening experience. The 55-minute duration allows for a comprehensive exploration of these masterpieces, making it a perfect choice for both seasoned classical music enthusiasts and those new to the genre.
