Symphony No. 5 in C-sharp minor

Album by Gustav Mahler & New York Philharmonic & Zubin Mehta

Symphony No. 5 in C-sharp minor is a symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, composed in 1901–1902 and premiered in 1904. It employs large-scale orchestration with dramatic brass and string textures alongside contrasting turbulent and lyrical passages, and marks a significant shift in Mahler's output as he moved from vocal-based symphonies to purely instrumental works that further developed his symphonic language.
