Mahler - Symphony No. 5 CD

One of the great turning points in Western music — Mahler's Fifth Symphony is a vast, turbulent journey from grief to hard-won affirmation that rewards every listen.

Gustav Mahler composed the Fifth between 1901 and 1902, at a pivotal moment in his life and career. The symphony opens with a funeral march of shattering intensity before moving through scherzo, the achingly beautiful Adagietto — famously used by Visconti in Death in Venice — and a finale of irresistible momentum. Mahler was the last great Austro-German symphonist and the bridge between the Romantic era and the modernism that followed; this symphony is the ideal place to start.
