Documented collaborators

Mahler Symphony No. 2, commonly known as the Resurrection Symphony, stands as a monumental achievement in late Romantic music. Composed by Gustav Mahler (1860–1911), this work expands the symphonic form with a massive orchestra, organ, offstage brass, choirs, and two vocal soloists. The final movement uses Klopstock’s text Die Auferstehung, linking earthly struggle to transcendent renewal. The complete premiere occurred in Berlin in 1895 under Mahler’s baton, with public performances rolling out through March 1895. Today, Mahler 2 remains a cornerstone of the orchestral repertoire and a favorite for conductors and choirs around the world.

About the composer and work

Gustav Mahler (1860–1911) was an Austrian composer and conductor who helped shape the trajectory of modern classical music. His Symphony No. 2 in C minor, 'Resurrection' (completed 1894; revised 1903, 1909), pushes the symphony into a vast dramatic arc. The piece spans five movements and features a large-scale orchestra, organ, offstage brass, a mixed choir, and two soloists (soprano and alto). The final movement set to Klopstock’s Die Auferstehung offers a sweeping affirmation of life beyond death.
