Symphony no. 5

Album by Gustav Mahler & London Symphony Orchestra & Harold Farberman

Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1902. The work is a large-scale orchestral symphony featuring prominent brass writing, expansive string textures, intricate counterpoint and dramatic contrasts of tempo and mood, and it marks a pivotal shift in Mahler's output from song-based works toward fully instrumental, architecturally conceived symphonic form.
