Symphony no. 2 in C minor, "The Resurrection"

Album by Gustav Mahler & SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden‐Baden und Freiburg & Michael Gielen

Symphony No. 2 in C minor, "Resurrection", is the second symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894 and premiered in 1895. The score employs large-scale late-Romantic orchestration including chorus and vocal soloists, moving from sombre, introspective passages to expansive climaxes that address themes of death and resurrection, and it occupies a pivotal position in Mahler's output as an early exploration of integrating vocal forces into the symphonic form.
