The Austrian composer and conductor Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) brought the traditional genre of the symphony into the 20th century. Today his works are part of the standard repertoire of every major orchestra. The Seventh Symphony, premiered on September 19, 1908 in Prague, consists of five movements and, like its two predecessors, is composed purely instrumentally - without the use of choir or solos like the Symphonies Nos. 2 to 4. In four movements of a dark character - two are labeled "Night Music" - is followed by a glaringly bright, jubilant finale.

Leonard Bernstein was the first conductor to record all of Gustav Mahler's symphonies not only on disc but also on video. The recordings, made between 1971 and 1985, are not only a unique musical document, but also contributed to a new understanding of Mahler's work.
"All Mahler symphonies, all Mahler works by the way, are full of extremes. Extremes in dynamics, in tempo, in emotional meaning. If the music is bare, then it is very bare; if it is dense and powerful, it is denser and more powerful than the Götterdämmerung as a whole; when it suffers, it suffers as has never been suffered in music." (Leonard Bernstein)
