Symphony no. 9

Album by Gustav Mahler & Berliner Philharmoniker & Sir John Barbirolli

Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909. The work employs expansive late-Romantic orchestration alongside moments of chamber-like intimacy and unconventional forms and harmonies, exploring themes of mortality that mark it as Mahler's final completed symphony and a significant bridge between late Romanticism and early modernism.
First released: 11th July 1989
