Symphony no. 5

Album by Gustav Mahler & Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra & Eliahu Inbal

Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1902. The work is a large-scale orchestral composition characterised by dramatic contrasts, intricate orchestration and a more concentrated instrumental focus, and it marks a shift in Mahler's output as he moved away from vocal elements toward purely orchestral forms in the early 20th century.
First released: 23rd October 2013
