Symphony No. 2 in C Minor, ("Resurrection Symphony") -  (Sinfonía n.º 2 en do menor ("Resurrección"))

Reino Unido

The Austrian composer and conductor Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) brought the traditional genre of the symphony into the 20th century. Today his works form the standard repertoire of every major orchestra. The finale from Mahler's Second Symphony is based on the poem "The Resurrection" by Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock and is therefore subtitled "Resurrection Symphony". The length and the extensive instrumentation (large orchestra, distant orchestra, organ, bells, large choir and 2 vocal soloists) mean that the work is rarely performed. Nevertheless, the Second Symphony is a central work in Mahler's oeuvre.

Leonard Bernstein was the first conductor to record all of Gustav Mahler's symphonies not only on disc but also on video. The recordings, made between 1971 and 1985, are not only a unique musical document, but also contributed to a new understanding of Mahler's work.
"All Mahler symphonies, all Mahler works by the way, are full of extremes. Extremes in dynamics, in tempo, in emotional meaning. If the music is bare, then it is very bare; if it is dense and powerful, it is denser and more powerful than the Götterdämmerung as a whole; when it suffers, it suffers as has never been suffered in music." (Leonard Bernstein)
