MAHLER: Symphony No. 1 in D Major “Titan” – Boston Symphony Orchestra/ William Steinberg – Forgotten Records FR 2295 (48:45) [www.forgottenrecords.com] *****:. The history of Mahler performance in the United States at the time of this performance of the First Symphony, 8 January 1960, by William Steinberg (1899-1978) and the Boston Symphony, illustrates a trend that had evolved first in Cincinnati and Minneapolis, from Mitropoulos, Ormandy, and Stokowski, and then emigrated to New York City, where Dimitri Mitropoulos, Bruno Walter, and Leonard Bernstein had honed their own sense of the tradition. The year 1960 marked the Mahler Centennial, an occasion especially pertinent in New York City, where Mahler himself had conducted performances prior to his untimely death in 1911. In terms of recordings, some 40 years had to elapse before the last of the nine symphonies and the fragment of the Tenth found their way into the catalogue in 1953; and another fourteen years would pass until Leonard Bernstein documented the complete cycle in 1967.
