Mahler's magnificent Second Symphony fully justifies the dictum that the Austrian composer's symphonies are "operas without words". Its five movements constitute a multifaceted musical meditation on life and death, the essence and the tragedy of human existence, but also assert faith in God's infinite mercy. The great and highly experienced conductor Christoph Eschenbach brings out all the heart-breaking and febrile thoughts, recreating one of the greatest symphonic edifices of all time with his baton.
