«Mahler: Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection"» is the album by Gustav Mahler conducted by Leonard Slatkin, released in 1990 on Telarc, as a double CD.
Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2 in C minor, subtitled 'Resurrection', is a late-Romantic choral work evoking the passage from death to eternal life. The opening 'Allegro maestoso' and the 'Urlicht' for contralto stand out, before the chorus bursts into a solemn finale. Slatkin's version with Battle and Forrester balances tragic tension and final triumph.
