Symphony no. 9

Album by Gustav Mahler & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Klaus Tennstedt

Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909. The work is a late-Romantic orchestral composition characterised by expansive forms, shifting tonalities, intricate orchestration and an introspective engagement with mortality, culminating in a prolonged, austere finale that contrasts scherzo-like agitation with fragile, lyrical passages.
