Mahler Symphony No. 1, Titan

And now for the next enthralling chapter: Arvo Volmer continues his magnificent traversal of Mahler symphonies with the First. No one ever composed a first symphony of such audacious originality, encompassing exquisite nature sounds, rollicking dance tunes, sophisticated irony and darkness.

The blazing, triumphant climax always inspires audiences to wild ovations. Feng Ning, winner of the prestigious Paganini Competition in 2006 and praised by Yehudi Menhuin, imbues his unique fusion of brilliance and insight on a work of such fiendish virtuosity, that Paganini's contemporaries believed only a player in league with the devil could perform it!
