Mahler thought of a symphony as a "world", containing as wide a range of images and allusions as possible. His Symphony No 1 begins in the world of the Romantic forest, and moves via the sound of the village band and the synagogue to an impassioned finale. Shostakovitch's Violin Concerto No 1 covers a similarly wide range of experience, and its third movement, in which the soloist's lament is accompanied by a slow timpani beat, is particularly haunting.

Viktoria Mullova, Philharmonia Orchestra, conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen
