Daniel Harding / Sabine Devieilhe / Marianne Crebassa / Oslo Philharmonic Choir

In the Resurrection, Mahler sought to answer some of life's greatest questions through music alone. The result is a monumental symphony in which movements of death and despair culminate in a finale full of hope—both for the afterlife and for humanity here and now. Daniel Harding conducts the Oslo Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra, with soloists Sabine Devieilhe and Marianne Crebassa.

There is something profoundly human about the questions Gustav Mahler asked himself in his Symphony No. 2: What happens when we die? What is the meaning of life? In the Resurrection Symphony, he sought answers through the only language he believed powerful enough: music. The result is a monumental work that took him seven years to complete and still stirs deep emotions in audiences more than a century later. For many, the symphony has also gained new relevance through the film Maestro, in which Mahler's music plays a central role in the portrayal of conductor Leonard Bernstein.
