97:09 minutes tracklist: 01 radio intro A 5:08 02 radio intro B 0:44 Gustav Mahler: Symphony No.2, "Resurrection" 03 I Allegro maestoso. Mit durchaus ernstem und feierlichem Ausdruck (With complete gravity and solemnity of expression); C minor 24:05 04 pause for reflection and conversation 3:15 “…there must also be a long, complete rest after the first movement since the second movement is not in the nature of a contrasting section but sounds completely incongruous after the first,” Mahler wrote to conductor Julius Buths in 1903. “This is my fault and it isn’t lack of understanding on the part of the audience…. The Andante is composed as a sort of intermezzo (like an echo of long past days from the life of him whom we carried to the grave in the first movement – ‘while the sun still smiled at him’). While the first, third, fourth, and fifth movements are related in theme and mood content, the second is independent, and in a sense interrupts the stern, relentless course of events.” - Gustav Mahler 05 II Andante moderato. Sehr gemächlich. Nie eilen. (Very leisurely. Never rush.); Ländler in A-flat major 10:59 06 III In ruhig fließender Bewegung (With quietly flowing movement); scherzo, C minor 16:21 07 IV Urlicht (Primeval Light).
