Symphony No. 9

Album by Gustav Mahler & Česká filharmonie & Zdeněk Mácal

Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909. The four-movement orchestral work uses late-Romantic harmonic language, wide dynamic and timbral contrasts and passages of stark introspection, and it stands as Mahler's final completed symphony that reflects his late-career concerns with mortality and orchestral colour.
