Mahler: Symphony No. 1. Baltimore Symphony Orchestra; Marin Alsop, conductor (Naxos)

The BSO's first commercial Mahler recording holds up firmly in a crowded field. Marin Alsop's straightforward, sensitive conducting is especially effective at bringing out the primordial mystery at the start of the symphony, the nostalgic charm in the middle of the scherzo and the blazing emotion of the finale. The CD, recorded at Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, captures vividly charged playing by the orchestra. $12. bsomusic.org
