Symphony no. 5

Album by Gustav Mahler & Jascha Horenstein & London Symphony Orchestra

Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1902. A late-Romantic orchestral work, it employs large-scale scoring and dramatic contrasts—from a funeral march to expansive lyrical passages—and marks a transition in Mahler's output from song-based symphonies to purely instrumental forms.
