Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Summary: "I was charmed by the 3rd movement of the 1st symphony"

Pardon my naivety but I found this recording by The New York Philharmonic and Zubin Mehta to be very good and the second and third movements of the first symphony were excellent. When first performed, the audience liked the second movement but was reserved regarding the third movement. Listen for yourself. The third movement is delightful. It supposedly disturbed the audience who interpreted it as a caricature of a funeral march. By current sensibilities, a caricature of a funeral march fits contemporary tastes. This is a recording of the 4 movement versions of the first symphony which was recognized by Mahler. Mahler had developed a five movement version but one movement was removed by the composer. The title "Titan" was also eventually dropped since it adds little. The first movement begins with much fanfare and does evoke awakening Spring. Mahler wrote `youth, fruit, thorn pieces' in the program notes regarding this movement. The second movement is based on a traditional Austrian waltz form and Mahler wrote `set with full sails' in the program notes. The second movement is excellent in this recording. The third movement evokes an ironic funeral march for a cartoon character. The child's folk song `Frere Jacques' is integrated into the structure of the piece. The piece was supposed to be based on woodcut of `The Hunter's Funeral (1850)' by Moritz Schwind. It is a delightful black and white print of a range of forest animals in a funeral march for a dead hunter. The fourth movement is expansive (to say the least) and pulls previous themes together into a finale. It begins with n abrupt cymbal crack and contrasts with the delightful 3rd movement. It ends with the dramatic fanfare evident in the beginning of the first movement. Mahler wrote `a deeply wounded heart' in the program notes. Yet this phrase seems out of place for the fourth movement ends with great energy, aspiration, elevation and complete resolution.
Mahler's 10th unfinished symphony was unperformed at his death at age 50. Mahler died of streptococcal infection of the blood. Only the first movement, the Andante-Adagio is presented here. Judged by Alma Mahler to be `absolutely performable', the Cleveland Orchestra under the direction of George Szell does a great job of presenting this complex piece. Mahler was under tremendous personal stress while writing the 10th symphony. His young wife Alma was having an affair with architect Walter Gropius. Mahler was under such strain that he sought the psychological services of Sigmund Freud. I found the numerous melancholy flowing themes to be somewhat dissonant, but richly textured. The tensions evoked reminded me of background music for a suspense movie, except the movement is very complex with themes emerging, running a short dissonant course, and then disappearing as if they were creatures returning quickly into the forest once they are observed.
My personal favorites are the second and especially the third movements of the first symphony. I would recommend the recording to others.

Summary: "lo mas impresionante, no lo mejor..."

Mahler inicia su vida en las sinfonías con esta maravilla, el Titan, es impresionante y siento decirlo por los expertos, una la escucha y se maravilla y para eso no debemos de saber de musica.
Y aqui esta el problema, Zubin Mehta no es apreciado por su calidad sino mas bien por su espectacularidad, y hay que decirlo tambien el Titan necesita espectacularidad por que siendo de Mahler alcanza niveles de gran profundidad musical, algo dificil de digerir para todos los amantes de la musica, y ahi el logro no puedes quedar indiferente a esta versión, quizas haya mejores directores para este autor, pero para empezar y asombrarse, nada mejor que esto. La sinfonia es una obra extensa, llena de formas musicales complejas, pero que Mehta lleva bien hasta el final.
La filarmonica de Nueva York hace honor a su nombre y pone todo de si para hacer de Mehta un director espectacular.
George Szell por su parte es como siempre pulcro, perfecto, sutil, autentico, inmejorable. Para este CD cualquier cosa podria haber acompañado al Titan, pero en una gran elección, de la espectacularidad de Mehta pasamos a la perfección y finura de Szell.

Summary: "First Experience with Mahler's 1st"

This was the first recording I ever listened to of Mahler's first, my only previous experience with him being Michael Gielen's Sony recording of the 8th. My attention was immediately captured by the second movement, the scherzo. Conductor Zubin Mehta's take of the scherzo clocks in at 7'35, which might not sound much different from the 7'47 of his later recording with the Israel Philharmonic, but those ten seconds make all the difference. The scherzo flies like none other I've heard afterwards, and truly lets me see the composer's original description of "Under Full Sail". While the recording quality is not quite as good as the Israel one, the added speed of the second movement and push to the finish in the last movement (the Israel recording loses some steam toward the end) put this one above that one, but just by a hair. My advice would be to get both, as they are both quite inexpensive.

Summary: "poor interpretation, great piece"

This was the first version of Mahler's first symphony I heard. At first
I enjoyed it,however when I heard other versions, I found the interpretation could be better. I recomend the piece, but probably not this version. This version of the 10th is pretty good.

Summary: "What's so Bad?"

I seem to be the only person who enjoyed this recording of Mahler's 1st Symphony. The interpretation is "middle of the road" not to fast not to slow. I thought that especially the third mvt. was very nice. I think people might say Mehta lacks fire in the fourth mvt. because he choses a slower tempo than others. Often I find people confuse passion and fire for faster tempo. Besides this the playing of the New York Philharmonic is marvelous. Especially the brass section. Anyways the best part of the CD is the adagio of Mahler's Tenth Symphony. This was done by George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra. Very brilliant playing. The opening is perfectly executed and for an older recording the sound is great. For me the adagio really stands out as a mvt that is capable of standing by itself, to include other parts of the Tenth with out doing the whole thing would have left me a little empty. Also the other mvt's aren't as good or as well arranged. Overall this is fine CD to become aquainted with these two works. There are many, many different ways to interpret Symphony No. 1 and this is a fine way to do it. I might consider other recordings of the Titan Symphony before this one, but for those on a budget this makes a great deal.
