Symphony no. 9

Album by Gustav Mahler & Wiener Symphoniker & Jascha Horenstein

Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909. The work is characterised by expansive late-Romantic orchestration, stark emotional contrasts and a progressive sense of formal and harmonic dissolution that points towards early 20th-century modernist tendencies, and it is Mahler's final completed symphony, representing the culmination of his late compositional style.
