Symphony no. 9

Album by Gustav Mahler & Myung-Whun Chung & Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra

Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909. It is the composer's final completed symphony and reflects his late-Romantic idiom, employing expansive orchestration, complex harmonic language, contrapuntal textures and a mixture of intense and elegiac passages that point towards early-twentieth-century modernist developments.
First released: 16th December 2014
