Symphony No. 5

Album by Gustav Mahler & New York Philharmonic & Leonard Bernstein

Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1902. The five-movement orchestral work traverses a funeral march, scherzo and expansive finale, employing dense late-Romantic orchestration and thematic transformations that mark a transition from his song-influenced works toward a more purely instrumental symphonic approach in his middle period.
First released: 1992
