Symphony no. 9
Album by Gustav Mahler & Columbia Symphony Orchestra & Bruno Walter
Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909 and first performed in 1912. The four-movement late-Romantic work features expansive structure, dense and varied orchestration, extended harmonic language and stark emotional contrasts, and it stands as Mahler's final completed symphony, reflecting his preoccupation with mortality and marking a turning point toward the music of the twentieth century.
