Mahler: Symphony No. 2 (2 LP)

"Leonard Bernstein's interpretation of Mahler's 'Resurrection' Symphony is one of the musical touchstones of our time, a reference point even for those who might not agree with its intensely personal view."
- The New York Times, 1989

Leonard Bernstein understood and conveyed the music of Gustav Mahler at a level that was positively uncanny, and for many listeners and reviewers, his Mahler Cycle on Deutsche Grammophon from the late 1980s remains the best loved. Bernstein's reading of the 2nd Symphony from this cycle is now on vinyl (2 LP gatefold). The recording was made in New York's Avery Fisher Hall in April 1987, with the New York Philharmonic, the Westminster Choir, and soloists Barbara Hendricks and Christa Ludwig.
