Symphony no. 2 in C minor

Album by Gustav Mahler & Wiener Philharmoniker & Pierre Boulez

Symphony No. 2 in C minor is the second symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894 and premiered in 1895. The work is a large-scale late-Romantic symphony combining expansive orchestral and choral forces, wide dynamic contrasts and extended thematic development, and it represents a pivotal step in Mahler's progression toward symphonies that integrate vocal elements and enlarged orchestral resources.
