9. Symphonie

Album by Gustav Mahler & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

9. Symphonie is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909. A late-Romantic orchestral work, it is characterised by expansive slow movements, striking dissonances and contrapuntal textures that convey a preoccupation with farewell and mortality, and it stands as Mahler's last completed symphony, signalling a move towards early modernist tendencies in orchestral writing.
First released: 24th October 2018
