Paavo Järvi and the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich present the second volume of their complete Mahler Symphonies, with Mahler: Symphony No. 1, his First Symphony, known as the “Titan” in reference to the eponymous novel by the poet Jean-Paul that Mahler greatly admired.
Although he abandoned this title three years after the symphony’s premiere in 1893, the symphony has, like many of Mahler’s works, “a clearly programmatic character” according to Paavo Järvi: “Mahler was a composer who was truly able to explore the inner world of human beings and to question what goes on inside us.”

Press reviews
Gramophone
I do believe this is one of the best – perhaps even the best – account of Mahler’s precocious First Symphony that I’ve heard on disc since the celebrated Bernstein/Concertgebouw version (DG, 3/89). Paavo Järvi and his Zurich orchestra really do make it feel and sound brand new. Its daring colourations are relished, its youthful audacity writ large. Everything is ripe and vivid. (…) Put simply this account rekindles much of the excitement that I for one experienced in hearing the piece for the first time. Heartily recommended.
