Symphony No. 1 in D major 'Titan'

"Alsop brings a vigorous spring to the music's step...At no point does her Mahler seem anything less than well considered and expertly groomed. But one still wishes she'd take off the leash and let the music run free for a while." (Gramophone)

"It's a thoughtful performance, very reined-in for the most part, though when Alsop finally lets her Baltimore forces off the leash in the closing peroration the effect is so startling that it blows you away...You're also very aware throughout of both the work's newness of vision and its debts" (The Guardian)
