Mahler’s Resurrection
Some works of music transcend the concert hall, gripping audiences with their sheer emotional force. Gustav Mahler's Symphony No.2, "Resurrection," is one such masterpiece. It's an expansive, soul-stirring journey that confronts life's deepest questions of mortality, faith, and the promise of redemption. Written for an unusually large orchestra, a full chorus, and two vocal soloists, the symphony unfolds with dramatic intensity, from its thunderous opening to its transcendent finale. Under the baton of Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra captures Mahler's unique blend of personal introspection and cosmic vision. Each movement reveals a new layer of the work's emotional depth. Moments of delicate lyricism, passages of fierce urgency, and the awe-inspiring choral finale are a testament to Mahler's genius. This is symphonic music at its most monumental. Program: Mahler - Symphony No.2, "Resurrection"
