Symphony no. 9 in D minor

Album by Gustav Mahler & London Symphony Orchestra & Leopold Ludwig

Symphony No. 9 in D minor is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909. A late-Romantic orchestral work characterised by expansive orchestration, shifting tonality and a blend of lyrical passages with intense contrapuntal and harmonic tension, it is one of Mahler's final completed symphonies and signals a transition towards early twentieth-century modernist tendencies in orchestral music.
First released: 7th July 2013
