Mahler 9

Album by Gustav Mahler & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Riccardo Chailly

Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909. The work exemplifies late-Romantic orchestration with expansive structures and intense contrasts between lyrical and dissonant material, and it stands as Mahler's final completed symphony, reflecting themes of mortality and a stylistic transition towards early modernist harmonic language.
First released: 1st January 2004
