Mahler Symphony No. 2 (“Resurrection”)

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 that requires a large orchestra as well as organ, chorus, two vocal 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.”
