Symphony no. 2 “Resurrection”

Album by Gustav Mahler & 大阪フィルハーモニー交響楽団 & Takashi Asahina

Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection" is the second symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894 and first performed in 1895. The work is scored for large orchestra with vocal soloists and chorus in a late-Romantic style; it moves from sombre funeral music to an expansive choral finale that treats themes of death and resurrection, and it is an important early example of Mahler's expansion of symphonic form.
