Mahler: Symphony No.1 (Version For Chamber Orchestra By Flavio Emilio Scogna) – Flavio Emilio Scogna

Flavio Emilio Scogna reimagines Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 for just 15 instruments, preserving its essential musical lines. Inspired by Arnold Schoenberg’s (1874-1951) idea of revealing the essence of symphonic works through reduced orchestration. Performed by a chamber ensemble of young Italian musicians under the direction of Flavio Emilio Scogna, this live recording captures the atmosphere of the auditorium, including ambient and audience sounds, bringing a warmth rarely found in studio recordings.
