Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2 (Resurrection)

Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2, known as the "Resurrection Symphony," explores themes of life, death, and the possibility of resurrection. Composed between 1888 and 1894, it features a large orchestra and includes parts for vocal soloists and a choir. The symphony begins with a somber tone, reflecting on mortality, and gradually evolves into a powerful conclusion that celebrates hope and renewal. The final movement conveys a sense of spiritual awakening and the triumph of life over death, making it one of Mahler's most celebrated and emotionally resonant works, often interpreted as a personal journey toward redemption and understanding.
