I'm personally glad that Mahler abandoned this nickname very early on, since for English-speaking audiences its use is always going to be misleading. A radio program has a presenter who can clarify things, of course, and give context. But elsewhere (concert posters, for example) the opportunities for explanation are much more limited. «You could catalogue Mahler’s First Symphony without its “Titan” subtitle, but that subtitle provides another potential thread (related to Theme #19 in the Qube Connections).»
