Symphony no. 7 in E minor (“Song of the Night”)
Album by Gustav Mahler & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & James Levine
Symphony No. 7 in E minor ("Song of the Night") is a symphony by Gustav Mahler, composed in 1904–1905. The work is characterised by expansive orchestration and nocturnal, often enigmatic atmospheres, with movements that contrast brooding, nocturne-like passages and lighter, more scherzo-like interludes, marking a transitional phase in Mahler's output as he experimented with form and tone.
