Symphony no. 9 / Metamorphosen
Album by Gustav Mahler & Richard Strauss & Wiener Philharmoniker & Simon Rattle
Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909. A late-Romantic large-scale orchestral work, it is characterised by expansive forms, dense orchestration and a blend of lyricism and stark, often fragmented textures, representing the culmination of Mahler's symphonic output and anticipating modernist tendencies in 20th-century music.
First released: 1998
