From Symphony No. 3

Gustav Mahler is today regarded as the supreme master of symphonic romanticism. His music's stunning rise from obscurity to enormous popularity began during the early years of the stereo LP, when American independent label Vanguard boldly undertook one of the first complete cycles of Mahler's symphonies with Maurice Abravanel and the Utah Symphony, making this music available in excellent sound at a bargain price.
