Mahler: Symphony No 1
Nature in all its gentleness and wildness colours this programme of romantic music, from the gentle first notes of Mahler's Symphony, with its blossoming of Spring and birdcalls, to a depiction of turbulent seas off the West coast of Scotland as experienced by the twenty year old Mendelssohn on a visit there. Schumann's great outpouring of his love for Clara is epitomised in his effervescent Piano Concerto
