Symphony No. 2

Album by Gustav Mahler & Sibylla Rubens & Iris Vermillion & MDR Rundfunkchor Leipzig & Sir Roger Norrington & Radio‐Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart des SWR

Symphony No. 2 is the second symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894 and first performed in 1895. The work is a large-scale late-Romantic symphony that expands orchestral forces and incorporates vocal soloists and a chorus in its final movement, employing expansive orchestration, stark contrasts of mood and a narrative arc that grapples with themes of death and rebirth and marking a pivotal, mature statement in Mahler's shift toward grander, more programmatic symphonic forms.
