Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 9

The Ninth Symphony is Gustav Mahler’s last completed work. Most of it was written in the summer of 1909 in Altschluderbach near Toblach, a place he recommended to his friend Arnold Berliner: “It is magnificent here and surely will restore body and soul.” The symphony was premiered posthumously on June 26, 1912 in Vienna, under the direction of Bruno Walter; Mahler himself never heard it.
