Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection"

Album by Gustav Mahler & サイトウ・キネン・オーケストラ & Seiji Ozawa

Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection" is the second symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894 and first performed in 1895. The work is a large-scale late-Romantic symphony that employs an expanded orchestra alongside chorus and vocal soloists to juxtapose intimate lyricism with towering climaxes, and it occupies a pivotal place in Mahler's evolution toward monumental, programme-driven symphonies that broadened the expressive scope of late-19th-century orchestral music.
