Mahler famously wrote, “A symphony should be like the world, it should embrace everything.” His First Symphony, often nicknamed “Titan,” does just that, evoking bird calls, folk dances, and a macabre funeral march on its way to an exhilarating finale. Conductor Elim Chan pairs Mahler’s symphony with Ravel’s scintillating song cycle Shéhérazade, featuring German soprano Christiane Karg in her Cleveland Orchestra debut.
