Mahler: Symphony no. 2

Album by Gustav Mahler & Filarmonica Teatro Regio Torino & Gianandrea Noseda

Symphony No. 2 is a symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, composed between 1888 and 1894. A large-scale late-Romantic work, it features expansive orchestration with choir and vocal soloists in the final movement and explores themes of death and resurrection, marking a key stage in Mahler's shift towards more programme-based, monumental symphonic writing that helped shape early 20th-century orchestral practice.
