About this album

Bruno Walter’s Mahler Second is a landmark interpretation of the Resurrection Symphony, prized for its humanity, structural clarity and long view of the score. Recorded with the New York Philharmonic and the Westminster Symphonic Choir, this 1958 stereo reissue preserves a conductor who had worked closely with Mahler and brought rare authority to the composer’s vast orchestral canvas. Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 in C Minor moves from funeral march and private anguish to choral affirmation and transcendence, making it one of the defining statements of the Late Romantic era. Walter’s reading helped secure the work’s place at the heart of the concert repertory.
