The fifth movement of Mahler's symphony contrasts very much from the other worldly beauty of the "Urlicht" movement, where the message of childlike faith is deeply expressed with all sincerity. Here, the music is the actual beginning of the Finale of the symphony where a vision of paradise is seen from a far. Themes of aspiration, resurrection, and redemption appear throughout the music and slowly build to the grand finale and conclusion at the very end of the symphony.

Performed by Zubin Mehta; Vienna Philharmonic
