About

Gustav Mahler composed his Fifth Symphony in the summers of 1901 and 1902 whilst staying at Wörthesee in the Austrian Alps, and the influence of nature around him is unquestionable, particularly in the third movement. Elsewhere, Mahler’s personal life is reflected in the themes of death, marital love and exuberant joy.

Jaap van Zweden is a renowned interpreter of Mahler. In this live performance recorded in January 2008, he conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra in an outstanding, energetic reading of this powerful work.

Press acclaim for van Zweden’s Mahler:
Mahler's Fifth Symphony was a clean, classical reading, seamless in the way it bound the music's disparate elements into a coherent cyclorama of sounds, impressions and elemental moods. Those are the hallmarks of a seasoned Mahlerian’ - Financial Times

Recorded live at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, London, on 16 January 2008 - The first London Philharmonic Orchestra recording of a live performance at the recently refurbished Royal Festival Hall.
