Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection"

Album by Gustav Mahler & Claudio Abbado & Eteri Gvazava & Anna Larsson & Orfeón Donostiarra & Lucerne Festival Orchestra

Symphony No. 2 'Resurrection' is a large-scale symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, composed between 1888 and 1894 and first performed in 1895. The five-movement work blends late-Romantic orchestration with chorus and vocal soloists, juxtaposing expansive orchestral passages, dramatic climaxes and moments of intimate lyricism, and it represents a major development in Mahler's evolution as a symphonist and his engagement with existential and spiritual themes in music history.
