Symphony no. 2

Album by Gustav Mahler & Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich & David Zinman & Juliane Banse & Anna Larsson & Schweizer Kammerchor

Symphony No. 2 is a symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894 and first performed in 1895. Spanning large orchestral forces and incorporating vocal elements in its finale, the work exemplifies late-Romantic orchestration, dramatic contrasts and expansive formal design, and it represents a pivotal development in Mahler's move toward more monumental, philosophical symphonies within his career.
First released: 2007
