The Fifth Symphony may be Mahler's most famous composition, is certainly the most frequently performed and is said to represent Mahler's love song to his wife Alma. Leonard Bernstein conducted it during the funeral Mass for Robert Kennedy at St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York, on 8 June 1968 and it was used in the 1971 Luchino Visconti film Death in Venice.
