Symphonie No. 5

Album by Gustav Mahler & Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine & Alain Lombard

Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1902. The large-scale late-Romantic orchestral work features stark contrasts between a brass-led funeral march, expansive lyrical interludes and climactic, contrapuntal finales, and it represents a pivotal shift in Mahler's career away from his earlier vocal-symphonic approach toward purely instrumental symphonism.
First released: 1991
