馬勒大抵上是很入世的作曲家，終年為了事業家庭及自己健康操心。他所譜寫的交響樂並不在歌誦神跡或超自然力量，而是不斷地在捫心自問、無止盡地探索死亡與來世的課題。以前少年不識愁滋味，喜歡在四下無人時大聲放來聽常搞到自己到不可自拔。現在由於年齡漸長歷練較多，情緒懂得如何收放，有時純粹以音樂觀點切入也很不錯。很多人都說二十世紀是馬勒交響曲的世紀，姑且不要管他的音樂是否恰好撫慰庸俗忙碌戰後嬰兒潮世代或二十世紀充滿不安靈魂等等，讓我們先好好坐下來純粹欣賞那大編制的管絃聲響所帶給我們的感動與衝擊。
最近注意到Sir Simon Rattle指揮柏林愛樂最新馬勒第五號，據說是拉圖爵士到任音樂總監第一場音樂會的實況錄音。無奈東岸雷射唱片實在太貴，希望回台時有機會可以買來聽聽。野人獻曝一下，以下是我所擁有的馬勒交響曲與連篇歌曲作品，趁機當作是一項小整理順便短短介紹一下心得。歡迎樂迷們討論，資料若有誤也請不吝指教。
Symphony No. 1 1899 version (巨人)
這是一首描述馬勒故鄉波西米亞田園風情與喜悅的音樂，特別容易入門。曲中有兩個樂章挪用了他自己譜寫初期連篇歌曲集”少年旅人之歌”部分旋律。
·Vienna Symphony Orchestra/Jascha Horenstein 1953 (lp)
·Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra of New York/Bruno Walter 1955 (lp)
·New York Philharmonic/Dimitri Mitropolous 1955 (lp)
·Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra /Rafael Kubelik 1968 (lp+cd)
Symphony No. 2 (復活)
講述死亡過程與世界末日後的復活。五個樂章超過七十分鐘，氣勢澎湃。第四樂章取材自Klopstock的詩詞”原光”，由女高音獨唱相當具有韻味。
·New York Philharmonic/Walter 1958 (lp)
·Philharmonic orchestra/Otto Klemperer 1963 (cd)
·Philadelphia Orchestra/Eugene Ormandy 1970 (lp)
·Chicago Symphony Orchestra/Claudio Abbado 1977 (lp)
Symphony No. 3
有史以來最長的管絃作品之一，副標題”一個夏日中午的夢”，樂章間也各都有標題。與第四號都是屬於調性明亮的作品。
·Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra/F. Charles Adler 1951 (lp)
·London Symphony Orchestra//Horenstein 1970 (lp)
·New York Philharmonic/ Leonard Bernstein 1961 (cd)
·London Philharmonic Orchestra/ Klaus Tennstedt 1980 (lp)
Symphony No. 4
馬勒交響曲中出乎意料外的長度最短、編制最小的一首，與第一號同樣使用部分少年旅人之歌”中的素材。旋律輕巧動聽。
·New York Philharmonic/Walter 1947 (cd)
·Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam/Edward Van Beinum 1950s (lp)
·Cleveland Orchestra/George Szell 1966 (lp)
·Israel Philharmonic Orchestra/Zubin Metha 1979 (lp)
Symphony No. 5
最有名的曲目之一，實際上相當不容易被了解。五樂章間對比強烈，震撼性極大。稍緩版樂章即為前文所提魂斷威尼斯的配樂。
·New York Philharmonic/Walter 1947 (lp)
·New York Philharmonic/Mitropolous 1959 (lp)
·Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra /Rafael Kubelik 1968 (lp)
·New Philharmonic Orchestra/John Barbirolli 1969 (lp+cd)
Symphony No. 6 (悲劇)
個人最愛的荒島曲目，可說是最具有馬勒自傳性風格的交響曲，具有濃厚戲劇性。描述在層層陰影底下和命運進行無情地抗爭，最後卻完全屈服於死亡，沉溺於無窮盡的黑暗裡。沉重的終樂章裡有三響象徵死亡的槌擊。
·New York Philharmonic/Mitropoulos 1955 (lp)
·Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra/Horenstein 1966 (lp)
·New York Philharmonic/Bernstein 1967 (lp)
·New Philharmonic Orchestra/Barbirolli 1968 (lp)
·Chicago Symphony Orchestra/Sir Georg Solti 1970s (cd)
Symphony No. 7 (夜之歌)
知名度不高、旋律性不強，好似數個鬆散樂章的集合，若以純音樂來看會比較有趣。第五六七號都為純粹器樂式的交響曲。
·Vienna Symphony Orchestra/Hermann Scherchen 1950 (cd)
·Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra/Kubelik 1971 (lp)
Symphony No. 8 (千人)
馬勒自己曾在書信中形容此曲:”如同宇宙震動鳴響般，這已不是來自人世間，而是行星或太陽運轉的聲音”，頗能推測出此曲應有的氣勢壯闊。第一部為”來吧，偉大的造物者”，第二部則為採自歌德名著”浮士德的終幕”。
·Vienna Festival orchestra/Mitropoulos 1960 (lp)
·London Symphony Orchestra/Bernstein 1966 (lp)
·Concertgebouw Orchestra, Amsterdam/Bernard Haitink 1970s (lp)
·Chicago Symphony Orchestra/Solti 1972 (cd)
·London Philharmonic Orchestra/Tennstedt 1987 (lp)
Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth;大地之歌)
原題為第九號，由於馬勒個人因素改為根據德國詩人Bethge所譯詩集”中國笛子”裡數首李白、錢起、孟浩然等詩作譜寫成的曲子，但內容已與原詩意境相去甚遠。結尾女低音詠唱令人回味無窮。
·Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra/Walter 1952 (lp+cd)
·Chicago Symphony Orchestra/Fritz Reiner 1960 (lp)
·New York Philharmonic/Walter 1960 (lp)
·Vienna Symphony Orchestra/Klemperer 1961 (lp)
·Vienna Philharmonic orchestra/Bernstein 1966 (cd)
Symphony No. 9
全曲在結構上恢復為傳統四個樂章，內容型態則與第六相近。但在死亡意涵的闡述上則見到作曲家從容知天命的氣度，在寧靜安祥下結束全曲。為作曲家最後一首長篇完整作品。
·Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra/Walter 1938 (lp)
·Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra/Barbirolli 1963 (cd)
·New York Philharmonic/Bernstein 1960s (lp)
·Czech Philharmonic Orchestra/Karel Ancerl 1966 (lp)
·London Philharmonic Orchestra/Tennstedt 1980 (lp)
Symphony No. 10 (adagio)
馬勒的天鵝之歌。
·Czech Philharmonic Orchestra/Ancerl 1966 (lp)
·London Symphony Orchestra/Pierre Boulez 1970 (lp)
Symphony No. 10 (Revised performing version by Deryck Cooke)
由音樂史學者Cooke依據馬勒死後斷簡殘篇中推測補齊的第十號。雖然樂思與意念不甚豐富，但在樂章間風格頗得前九首的真傳。
·Philadelphia Orchestra/Ormandy 1966 (lp)
·Philadelphia Orchestra/James Levine 1981 (lp)
Das Klagende Lied (悲傷之歌)
·London Symphony Orchestra/Boulez 1970 (lp)
Des Knaben Wunderhorn (少年魔法號角之歌)
·London Symphony Orchestra/Szell 1968 (lp)
·London Philharmonic Orchestra/Tennstedt 1986 (cd)

·Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra/Walter 1952 (lp)
·New Philharmonic Orchestra/Barbirolli 1969 (lp)
Kindertotenlieder (弔念亡兒之歌)
