Symphony no. 2 “Resurrection”

Album by Gustav Mahler & Latvian State Academic Chorus & Oslo Filharmoniske Kor & Oslo‐Filharmonien & Felicity Lott & Júlia Hamari & Mariss Jansons

Symphony No. 2 “Resurrection” is the second symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894. It is a major late-Romantic work that employs expansive orchestral forces, chorus and vocal soloists across a multi-movement, programme-driven structure culminating in a vast finale that treats themes of death and resurrection and marks Mahler's development towards symphonies that blend song with symphonic form.
First released: 1990
