'''Gustav Mahler''' (July 7, 1860, Kaliště, Bohemia – May 18, 1911, Vienna, Austria) was a Austrian-Jewish composer and conductor.


Mahler's masterpieces are considered to be the bridge between 19th and 20th century. Mahler is noted for his symphonies and orchestral songs.
Mahler wrote only symphonies and song cycles, and there is some overlap between the two: for example, his last work ''Das Lied von der Erde'' he regarded as a symphony, though one might take it for a song-cycle, while a number of his symphonies feature singers.
