After critically-acclaimed recordings of Mahlerโ€™s Fourth and Fifth Symphony, the Czech Philharmonic and Semyon Bychkov continue their Pentatone Mahler cycle with a rendition of the composerโ€™s Second, nicknamed โ€œThe Resurrectionโ€. They are joined by soprano Christiane Karg, alto Elisabeth Kulman and the Prague Philharmonic Choir. Starting with a funeral march, passing through the introspective alto song โ€œUrlichtโ€ and ending in choral bliss and euphoria, Mahlerโ€™s Second is a deeply spiritual and personal contemplation on the secret of life and the possibility of overcoming death.
