Synopsis

An unabridged republication of this work, orginally published by C.F. Kahnt Nachfolger in 1906. The symphony dates from the composer's prolific period of 1903-4. The work incorporates 'portraits' of Alma in the first movement andof children playing in a diabolical Scherzo- some say, a musical prediction of the tragedy that was to strike the Mahler family within three years.

About the Author

Austrian composer and conductor Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) wrote chiefly symphonies and Lieder. Late Romantic in style, his tempestuous works reflect the anxious mood of Europe at the turn of the 20th century. Because of his Jewish roots, the composer's music was suppressed by the Nazis but has enjoyed a steady revival over the past five decades.
