Lucerne Festival 2003 - Mahler Symphony No. 2

“Aufersteh’n, ja aufersteh’n wirst du, mein Herz in einem Nu! Was du geschlagen, zu Gott wird es dich tragen! “ The final chorus of Mahler's beautiful and impressive second symphony never fails to move its listeners. Apart from the size of the gigantic orchestra and the use of an organ and soloists, the theme of life and death contributes to the epic quality of the work. The listener may recognize a number of Mahler's earlier compositions from his song collection Des Knaben Wunderhorn. This performance, by Claudio Abbado, soprano Eteri Gvazava, mezzo soprano Anna Larson, Orfeón Donostiarra, and the first-rate musicians of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, is one of the greatest ever. Recorded in 2003.
