Symphony no. 2 “Resurrection”

Album by Gustav Mahler & Yoel Levi & Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus & Barbara Bonney & Mary Phillips

Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection" is the second symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894 and first performed in 1895. It spans five movements and employs large orchestral and choral forces, blending late-Romantic orchestration, expansive thematic development and vocal settings to confront themes of death and resurrection, representing a key stage in Mahler's shift toward monumental symphonic writing that helped shape early 20th-century orchestral practice.
