Gustav Mahler Symphony No. 9

Album by Gustav Mahler & Lucerne Festival Orchestra & Claudio Abbado

Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909. Scored for a large late-Romantic orchestra, it blends expansive slow movements, lyrical passages and moments of stark orchestral colour, and it is one of Mahler's final completed works, reflecting his late-period concerns with mortality and musical form.
