Symphonie no. 7

Album by Gustav Mahler & Bamberger Symphoniker & Jonathan Nott

Symphonie No. 7 is the seventh symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1905. The work employs late-Romantic orchestral forces with contrasting nocturnal atmospheres and vigorous scherzo-like passages, emphasising Mahler's expanded use of orchestral colour and occupying a position among his later large-scale symphonies that probe contrasts of mood and texture.
First released: 17th March 2012
