Mahler Symphony No. 7

Album by Gustav Mahler & Lucerne Festival Orchestra & Claudio Abbado

Symphony No. 7 is the seventh symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1905 and premiered in 1908. The work juxtaposes nocturnal textures, expansive marches and energetic scherzos, expanding the orchestral palette with unusual instrumental colours and formal experimentation that points to a transitional moment in Mahler's symphonic output.
