“Why have you lived? Why have you suffered?” These are the fundamental questions that Gustav Mahler deals with in his Second Symphony. Dark humour and yearning solos are also to be found in the work’s formidable spectrum of expression. The Berliner Philharmoniker, conductor Gustavo Dudamel, the Rundfunkchor Berlin and all the performers dedicated this performance of the “Resurrection Symphony” to the people affected by the Russian attacks on Ukraine.

2. Sinfonie Mahler

“Why did you live? Why did you suffer Is it all just great, terrible fun? «These are elementary questions that Gustav Mahler deals with in his Second Symphony. In addition, he offers impressive powers, with a large choir and orchestra and overwhelming sound discharges. But grotesque humor and longing solo singing can also be found in this enormous range of expressions. The conductor of this performance is Gustavo Dudamel, who has been a regular Mahler interpreter with the Berliner Philharmoniker since 2014 and inspires with fire and precision.
