Gustav Mahler excelled in two forms, which he often used to inform each other: the art song and the symphony. Tonight we'll listen to his first venture in the latter, as (Mahlerphile) Leonard Bernstein leads the Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam in Mahler's Symphony No. 1 in D, the "Titan."
Taking the edge off Mahler's symphonic rumblings is the Philharmonia Orchestra and Michael Tilson Thomas in Debussy's "Nocturnes," featuring the Ambrosian Singers. Sonatas by Schubert and Beethoven help round out our playlist; we'll also hear Brahms's delightful "Variations on a Theme by Haydn" with the St. Louis Symphony under Leonard Slatkin.
