CD Mahler: Sym. 1, Haitink/CSO

An expert interpreter of Mahler's symphonies, Bernard Haitink leads the triumphant First Symphony, the work that introduced Mahler's staggering talent to the public. According to the Chicago Tribune, "Haitink's reading was warmly expansive and beautifully played." The Chicago Sun-Times noted, "Haitink and the CSO demonstrated confidence, vigor and ease... and brought the capacity crowd to its feet for a five-minute series of ovations."

Track Listing:

Gustav Mahler, Symphony No. 1 in D major

2. Kräftig bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell
3. Feierlich und gemessen, ohne zu schleppen
4. Stümisch bewegt
