description
Gustav Mahler’s (1860-1911) Second Symphony, often referred to as the “Resurrection Symphony”, was composed between 1888 and 1894, marking a significant progression in Mahler’s artistic development. The symphony is expansive, spanning five movements, and delves into themes of life, death, and the afterlife.
The Second Symphony is renowned for its emotional depth and grandeur. The opening movement sets a somber tone, with brooding melodies that reflect on human mortality. The subsequent movements explore contrasting emotions, from moments of sublime beauty to passages of intense anguish. The symphony reaches its climax in the final movement, where Mahler introduces vocal soloists and a chorus. This dramatic conclusion contemplates the concept of resurrection and ultimate redemption, culminating in a triumphant and awe-inspiring finale.
This excellent and moving recording from 1985 features the Residentie Orkest The Hague conducted by Hans Vonk, one of the most prominent Dutch conductors of the 20th century. The vocal soloists are Maria Orán Cury (soprano) and Jard van Nes (alto); the featured choir is The Dutch Theatre Choir.
