Title Note

From the first ominous notes in the orchestra we hear why Zubin Mehta's recording of Mahler's Symphony No.2 ("Resurrection") has been reissued as a classic. Under Mehta's direction, the Weiner Philharmoniker navigates us through the complex and quick turns of the dark first movement. Mahler consciously imitated Beethoven's use of the chorus in this Symphony, and it is with great loveliness that Christa Ludwig's contralto enters for the first time. The final movement begins with a rich Wagnerian depiction of the day of resurrection, leading to the powerful choral finale, which is in actuality more understated than the work by Beethoven which inspired Mahler. But perhaps the most remarkable element of this performance is the relatively quick speed at which it passes: it is over all too soon, and regarding a piece such as this, searching out this kind of recording can be a rewarding effort.
