A master portrays Mahler's cosmic scale
"Titan" by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra led by Georg Solti shines with its overwhelming acoustics and intricate composition.
Solti's passionate conducting brings out the orchestra's astonishing capabilities to the fullest, imbuing Mahler's early masterpiece with immense vitality. From the fresh depiction of nature in the first movement to the explosive energy of the finale, his unfettered expression of tempo is simply stunning. The contrast between the powerful brass and delicate strings characteristic of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra further accentuates the drama of the work.
