Symphony no. 9

Album by Gustav Mahler & BBC Philharmonic & Kurt Sanderling

Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909 and first performed in 1912. The score exemplifies late-Romantic orchestral writing with expansive slow movements, moments of brittle, introspective lyricism, increasing harmonic ambiguity and structural experimentation, and it stands as the composer's final completed symphony often cited in discussions of the transition from Romanticism to early modernist tendencies in early 20th-century music.

First released: 1996
