Gustav Mahler Symphony No. 1, “Titan”

Gabriela Oritz Antropolis depicts the music of Mexico City through its legendary dance halls and bars with the full colour palette of the symphony orchestra. Mendelssohn’s concerto for violin and piano is full of effervescent charm. It stems from his early teenage years and reflects the child prodigy genius that he was. Mahler’s first symphony is a grand and vast work, showcasing the orchestra and all its facets.
