Gustav Mahler 1

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in Taipei

Thomas Beecham (1946-1961) Rudolf Kempe (1962-1975)
Antal Doráti (1975-1978) Walter Weller (1980-1985)
André Previn (1985-1992) Vladimir Ashkenazy (1987-1994)
Yuri Temirkanov (1992-1998) Daniele Gatti (1996-present)
Leonard Slatkin (Guest conductor in Taipei )

I don't know when and why I fell in love with Mahler's Symphony. Is it the solo fragment for each instrument? the exoticism? the elasticity? his spirituality? Mahler's 1st: http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=hIBFLGe-0s8&feature=related
