Symphonie no. 9

Album by Gustav Mahler & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Pierre Boulez

Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909 and first performed in 1912. The work is a late-Romantic orchestral symphony notable for its expansive orchestration, intricate counterpoint and stark contrasts between intimate passages and turbulent climaxes, and it occupies a central place in Mahler's output as his final completed symphony that engages with themes of mortality and farewell.
First released: 1998
