Symphony no. 5

Album by Gustav Mahler & Sir John Barbirolli & Philharmonia Orchestra

Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1902. The work is a large-scale late-Romantic orchestral symphony that traverses a wide range of moods from solemn marches to intimate lyrical passages, showcasing Mahler's expanding orchestral palette and structural experimentation and marking a transitional point in his output between his earlier vocal-infused symphonies and his later purely instrumental works.
