Symphony no. 2 “Resurrection”

Album by Gustav Mahler & Arleen Augér & Dame Janet Baker & City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra Chorus & City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra & Simon Rattle

Symphony No. 2, "Resurrection" is the second symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894 and first performed in 1895. The work expands the late-Romantic symphonic form through very large orchestral forces, vocal soloists and chorus, juxtaposing expansive orchestral movements with a final choral movement that explores themes of death and renewal and marking a pivotal stage in Mahler's development toward integrating song and symphony in his later works.
