The Symphony No. 2 in C minor by Gustav Mahler, known as "Resurrection" (german: "Auferstehung"), was written between 1888 and 1894, and first performed in 1895. Apart from the Eighth Symphony, this symphony was Mahler's most popular and successful work during his lifetime. It is his first major work that would eventually mark his lifelong view of the beauty of afterlife and resurrection. The work lasts around eighty to ninety minutes.This recording is also from Haitink's second Mahler-cycle with the Berliner Philharmoniker dating from 1990. Although the cycle was never finished (the project was aborted before Nrs. 8 and 9 were recorded), a few recordings stand out for their quality. A very refined and powerfull reading of this work, ranking at the top.
