Symphony No. 2 in C minor "Resurrection"

Album by Gustav Mahler & Wiener Philharmoniker & Gilbert Kaplan

Symphony No. 2 in C minor 'Resurrection' is a symphony by Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894 and premiered in 1895. Scored for large orchestra, chorus and vocal soloists, it employs expansive late-Romantic orchestration, stark contrasts and a climactic choral finale that explores themes of death and resurrection, and it represents a key turning point in Mahler's move towards large-scale, programme-driven symphonic writing.
