Symphony no. 5

Album by Gustav Mahler & Minnesota Orchestra & Osmo Vänskä

Symphony No. 5 is a symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1902. The five-movement work is a pivotal point in Mahler's output, marking his movement towards purely instrumental, large-scale orchestral writing and is characterised by stark dynamic contrasts, expanded orchestral forces and extensive thematic transformation that influenced early 20th-century symphonic practice.
