Symphony no. 2 in C minor “Resurrection”

Album by Gustav Mahler & Heather Harper & Helen Watts & London Symphony Orchestra & Sir Georg Solti

Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection" is the second symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894. A large-scale late-Romantic work that combines orchestra with chorus and vocal soloists, it features expansive movements, dramatic contrasts of orchestral colour and a finale that sets text exploring themes of death and resurrection, representing a key development in Mahler's move toward choral-symphonic writing and the expansion of symphonic form in the late 19th century.
