Symphony no. 5

Album by Gustav Mahler & Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Yoel Levi

Symphony No. 5 is a symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1902 and first performed in 1904. Musically it is a large-scale late-Romantic orchestral work characterised by bold contrasts, intricate counterpoint and expansive orchestration, and it represents Mahler's first fully instrumental symphony as he moved away from works that incorporated voices toward a concentrated orchestral idiom.
First released: 1995
