Mahler's 'Jewish' symphony

[Ashdown]

Which of Mahler's symphonies is also known as the 'Jewish' symphony? It was performed at the BBC Proms in 2003.

Thanks,
Ashdown.

Gustav Mahler (born on 7 July 1860 in Bohemia and died on 18 May 1911) although born Jewish later converted to Christianity. Many of his works contain elements that are attributed to his Jewish roots... however, aficionados and devotees of Mahler believe that the third movement of The First Symphony (Titan) most clearly displays his "Jewishness"... However, for example, Das Lied von der Erde,(The Songs of the Earth) often considered as Mahler's crowning achievement has been dissected for it's Jewish influence by some critics...
