Symphony no. 5

Album by Gustav Mahler & Nederlands Philharmonisch Orkest & Hartmut Haenchen

Symphony No. 5 is a symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1902. The work explores a large-scale late-Romantic orchestral palette—ranging from abrupt brass fanfares and dense contrapuntal textures to extended lyrical passages for strings and winds—and represents a pivotal turn in Mahler's career toward purely instrumental composition and expanded symphonic form.
First released: 2002
