Symphony no. 9
Album by Gustav Mahler & Budapest Festival Orchestra & Iván Fischer
Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909 and premiered in 1912. Musically, the work is a large-scale late-Romantic orchestral symphony characterised by expansive forms, dense orchestration and stark contrasts between lyrical passages and dissonant textures, and it occupies a pivotal place in Mahler's late output as a significant exploration of mortality and formal innovation in early 20th-century symphonic writing.
