Symphony no. 5

Album by Gustav Mahler & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Riccardo Chailly

Symphony No. 5 is a symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1902. A large-scale five-movement orchestral work that marks Mahler's transition from his earlier vocal-influenced symphonies to purely instrumental writing, it encompasses dramatic brass fanfares, intricate contrapuntal textures and wide-ranging shifts in orchestral colour that influenced twentieth-century symphonic practice.
