The "Emporer" is the largest in scale of all of Beethoven's concertos. It is written in a virtuosic style that looks forward to the grand pianism of Liszt in its full chordal textures and wide dynamic range. Although Beethoven never gave the work its now familiar name, a spirit of heroism nonetheless infuses the music, whilst the sublime slow movement is one of his most profound.
In what was probably the most remarkable and daring first symphony ever written, Mahler is revealed already as a fully and radically himself. His musical mood swings, daring orchestral sounds, searing dissonances and mixture of popular and classical idiomw were a shock to audiences more used to the contemporary symphonies of Dvorak, Brahms & Tchaikovsky, and thus it received a mixed reception. What struck so many ears as shapeless and vulgar in 1889 has become loveable even quaint - it bursts with the boldness and fire of youth, proudly displays a burgeoning mastery of orchestration, and flirts cheekily with traditional ideas of good taste.
