1 is the eleventh studio album by guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen, released on 4 February 1998 through Canyon International.

[2] The album was Malmsteen's first attempt at a classical concerto suite featuring electric guitar solos.

All of the music was composed by Malmsteen, though his compositions were scored by his friend and fellow musician David Rosenthal.

Malmsteen has been keen to emphasize that unlike other collaborations between rock musicians and classical orchestras (such as Deep Purple's Concerto for Group and Orchestra), which feature a rock group playing with orchestral accompaniment, this is orchestral music which happens to have an electric guitar as its solo instrument.
