Symphony no. 9

Album by Gustav Mahler & Kungliga Filharmonikerna & Alan Gilbert

Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909. The work is a late-Romantic symphony characterised by expansive, highly expressive orchestration, intricate contrapuntal writing and stark contrasts between lyrical introspection and turbulent outbursts, and it stands as Mahler's final completed symphonic statement, reflecting the composer's late-career preoccupations with mortality.
