Symphony no. 5

Album by Gustav Mahler & Tonhalle‐Orchester Zürich & Paavo Järvi

Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1902. The five-movement orchestral work represents a transition in Mahler's output from his earlier song-influenced structures to a more purely instrumental and architecturally complex symphonic idiom, employing expansive orchestration, stark emotional contrasts and a prominent slow movement that has become a staple of the concert repertoire.
