Gergiev Conducts Mahler - 2nd

Logo for Gergiev Conducts Mahler - 2nd

Renowned conductor Valery Gergiev and the London Symphony Orchestra perform Mahler's gigantic Symphony No 2 (the Resurrection) at the Barbican in London. One of Mahler's choral symphonies, it begins with a huge funeral march and questions whether there is life after death, with the work as a whole marking the progression from darkness to light and from death to everlasting life.
