Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conducted by Bruno Walter, a close personal friend and prot茅g茅 of Gustav Mahler, this recording carries immense historical and interpretative weight. Walter guides the Columbia Symphony Orchestra through the expansive 'Titan' symphony with an unparalleled understanding of its delicate lyricism and sweeping, nature-inspired romanticism. It is widely considered one of the definitive documents of Mahlerian performance practice by one of his primary advocates.
