Symphony No 2

Album by Gustav Mahler & Bernard Haitink & Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Symphony No. 2 is the second symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894. Scored for large orchestra and chorus, it presents expansive late-Romantic textures, dramatic contrasts and rich orchestral colour that bridge song and symphony, marking a pivotal development in Mahler's move towards grand-scale, programme-influenced symphonic writing.
