Symphony no. 10 (Cooke completion)

Album by Gustav Mahler & 東京都交響楽団 & Eliahu Inbal

Symphony No. 10 (Cooke completion) is a performing edition of the unfinished Tenth Symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, prepared by Deryck Cooke and first completed in 1960. The work presents Mahler's late-Romantic orchestral language—marked by dense textures, expanded chromaticism and stark contrasts between intimate passages and large-scale climaxes—and the Cooke completion provides a practical realisation of the composer's final harmonic and structural experiments, situating the piece within the trajectory of Mahler's late style and mid-20th-century approaches to completing unfinished works.
