See program guide for Aspen Music Festival below.
I will listen to his Symp #1 with Blumine movement (1893 version) performed by The New Haven Symphony Orchestra led by Frank Jeff. Mahler composed this symphony as "symphonic Poem in Two Parts (five movements)" with the subtitle "Titan" after the romantic novel by Jean Paul. However, Mahler withdrew his elaborate literary program with No. 1 and also lost an entire movement in the process. It is that movement, the delicate and nostalgic Andante Allegretto in C major subtitled "Blumine."
I am also ging to listen to his 5th played by Solti and CSO, always a very exciting experience.
