Mahler's Symphony No 2 with Lorenzo Viotti

Lorenzo Viotti

Lorenzo Viotti has plunged into Mahler's music with great success in recent years: his debut with Mahler's Third with the Berliner Philharmoniker was impressive, his Fifth was labelled ‘Unforgettable’ in Trouw. And about the Ninth: ‘The Netherlands Philharmonic was in shining top form, audibly pleased and taken with such a magnetising chief’.

Mahler's Second Symphony ‘Auferstehung’

With a duration of almost an hour and a half and an overwhelming orchestral line-up, including ten horns, eight trumpets, quadruple woodwinds, a sea of strings and a full choir plus two vocal soloists, Mahler's Second Symphony is a huge work. The subject matter - life, death and the resurrection afterwards - is no less ambitious. But Mahler's masterful music is more than just grand. From the smallest and most intimate to the grandiose, from the mundane to the sublime: everything passes by.
