Behind the Music: Mahler's Symphony No. 5 

A deeper look into Mahler’s Symphony No. 5, on the program beginning November 15. Mahler composed his Fifth Symphony in 1901-02. His first completely instrumental symphony since No. 1, it marked a new, highly individual, and influential approach to writing for orchestra that would carry through the remainder of Mahler's symphonies. The Fifth includes the famous and moving Adagietto movement for strings and harp.
