Title: Paying Homage to Youth
Review: For those of you who are fans of Mahler's symphonies, and for those who have yet to discover them, this recording of Symphony No. 1 is a great place to start. Though all of Mahler's symphonies are mature works in terms of theme and composition, the "Titan" pays tribute to youthful exuberance and passion and should sound like it. Too many conductors try to smooth over the rough edges that Mahler quite deliberately placed in this work.Conductor Michael Gielsen does not. His interpretation practically seethes with the knocks, bangs and cries for which Mahler is famous, especially in the Third Movement.The only weakness of this recording, lies with the orchestras involved. They are not quite up to the task of realizing Gielsen's interpretation; but DON'T let that sour you on this CD. It contains a truly vibrant and-can I say-edgy "Titan".
