Synopsis

In this great work, first published in 1912, Mahler experimented with the four-movement symphonic form, producing a masterpiece of musical innovation, satiric writing and poetic drama expressed in purely instrumental terms.

Now the full orchestral score of the Ninth Symphony is available in this inexpensive, high-quality edition, reprinted from an authoritative Viennese score. Music lovers and admirers of Mahler's work willfind in these pages abundant evidence of the fresh and formidable thinking the composer brought to this monumental composition.

One of the last composers of the great Romantic tradition, Mahler possessed a strong sense ofthedramatic in life. He chose to record that drama in nine magnificent symphonies, all works of vivid orchestration, innovative symphonic structure, and rich emotional expression.

About the Author

Austrian composer and conductor Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) wrote chiefly symphonies and Lieder. Late Romantic in style, his tempestuous works reflect the anxious mood of Europe at the turn of the 20th century. Because of his Jewish roots, the composer's music was suppressed by the Nazis but has enjoyed a steady revival over the past five decades.
