Symphony No. 2 in C minor, 'Resurrection'

Available for over a year

Mahler’s 2nd symphony, scored for huge orchestra, 2 sopranos and choir, tells the story of a hero, but one which starts with his death. It makes for an extraordinary journey - by turns violent, angry, heroic, tender and other-worldly. It's a journey that anyone can take and be moved by.
