Symphony no. 2 in C minor “Resurrection”

Album by Gustav Mahler & The Philadelphia Singers & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Christoph Eschenbach

Symphony No. 2 in C minor, the "Resurrection" Symphony, is the second numbered symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, composed between 1888 and 1894 and first performed in 1895. A large-scale late-Romantic work for orchestra, choir and vocal soloists, it juxtaposes dramatic orchestral writing with choral finales to address themes of death and resurrection and signalled Mahler's move towards expansive, extra-musical symphonic narratives that influenced subsequent symphonic practice.
