«Mahler: Symphony No. 2 Resurrection» is the album by the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Zubin Mehta, on double CD, released in 1987.
The work unfolds in five movements, from the opening Allegro maestoso to the Finale with soloists. Among them, the «Urlicht» stands out, a solemn piece for solo voice that contrasts with the intensity of the last movement. Mehta's and the Vienna Philharmonic's version accentuates the emotional tension and the transcendent sense of the score.
The vocal soloists are Ileana Cotrubas and Christa Ludwig, and the catalogue reference is 414 538-2.
For classical music listeners interested in Mahler and in symphonic versions by the Vienna Philharmonic.
