Symphony no. 5 in C sharp minor
Album by Gustav Mahler & Maurice Abravanel & Utah Symphony
Symphony No. 5 in C sharp minor is the fifth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1902. Scored for a large orchestra, the work juxtaposes sombre, funeral-like material with expansive brass and string writing and more intimate lyrical passages, representing a shift toward greater orchestral complexity and structural ambition in Mahler's middle-period output.
