Mahler’s Symphony No. 2

Yannick continues the Orchestra ’ s exploration of Mahler with one of the composer ’ s most enduring classics. Shaking the heavens, Mahler ’ s “ Resurrection ” Symphony is a vast, spectacular work requiring a large orchestra as well as organ, chorus, two soloists, and multiple offstage musicians. In its sublime ending, majestic and awe-inspiring, a heavenly choir sings and in that moment, Mahler wrote, “ a feeling of overwhelming love fills us. ”
