Symphony no. 2 in C minor "Resurrection"

Album by Gustav Mahler & Kimberly Jones & Stacy Eckert & University Symphony Orchestra & Barbara Schubert & University Chorus & Motet Choir

Symphony No. 2 in C minor 'Resurrection' is the second symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894 and first performed in 1895. The work employs late-Romantic orchestral forces — a large orchestra with chorus and vocal soloists — combining vast brass and string textures with intimate lyrical passages to confront themes of death and renewal, and it marks a pivotal point in Mahler's career as he expanded the scale and emotional scope of the symphony, influencing the development of the genre into the twentieth century.
