Gustav Mahler Symphony No. 2 in C Minor Resurrection

Gustav Mahler's second symphony, known as the Resurrection Symphony, is an impressive masterpiece - a profound musical reflection on the human and the transcendent. With five movements and a monumental structure, the symphony guides listeners through powerful sonic images and deep emotional themes - from confrontation with life and death to hope for salvation and rebirth. The climax is a magnificent finale in which a powerful chorus celebrates the resurrection.
