Symphony no. 9

Album by Gustav Mahler & Česká filharmonie & Václav Neumann

Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1910. The work exemplifies late-Romantic orchestration and expansive symphonic form, featuring extended tonal ambiguity, stark contrasts between intimate, often melancholic passages and turbulent, rhythmically driven sections, and as Mahler's final completed symphony it sits at a crossroads between nineteenth-century Romanticism and emerging twentieth-century modernist tendencies.
First released: April 1993
