Symphony no. 5 in C-sharp minor

Album by Gustav Mahler & Los Angeles Philharmonic & Zubin Mehta

Symphony No. 5 in C-sharp minor is the fifth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1902. The five-movement orchestral work deploys late-Romantic harmonic language and expansive orchestration, juxtaposing sombre, introspective passages with martial brass fanfares and lyrical string writing, and it marks Mahler's return to large-scale purely orchestral composition that bridges his earlier vocal-inflected works and his later symphonies.
First released: 1987
