2. Sinfonie Mahler

In the colossal Resurrection Symphony , Gustav Mahler starts from the vast orchestral ensemble used on Titan to broaden it with the introduction of the human voice, with the use of soloists and choir, a feature that will be characteristic of his later symphonies. It is also the first work in which Mahler uses texts from the collection Des Knaben Wunderhorn: Alte deutsche Lieder (The Magic Horn of Youth: Old German Songs), a set of traditional German poems and songs compiled in 1805 and which it became an inexhaustible source of resources for its production.
The symphony was initially conceived as a one-movement symphonic poem of a funeral nature. Later, following the death of conductor Hans von Bülow, the composer introduced four more movements to erect a monumental symphonic construction on death, the memory of happiness, the loss and recovery of faith, and finally the resurrection through love in the hands of God.
