Mahler: Symphony No. 1 "Titan" - Claudio Abbado - Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Gustav Mahler: Symphony No.1 in D major "Titan"

I. Langsam. Schleppend. Wie ein Naturlaut - Im Anfang sehr gemächlich (00:00)
II. Kräftig bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell (16:20)
III. Feierlich und gemessen, ohne zu schleppen (23:37)
IV. Stürmisch bewegt (34:31)

Claudio Abbado (Recorded in 1981)

When I was in the United States Army I knew nothing about classical music and I never listened to it. Another soldier told me about Mahler: Symphony No. 1 which I thought was fantastic, especially the 4th movement. Now I listen to classical music everyday, thanks to being in the Army.
