Symphony 2

Mariss Jansons and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
continue their Mahler cycle with this set of the second and third symphonies. Jansons performed the works during the 2009 10 season as part of a full, chronological series of concerts to commemorate his 150th birthday and the 100th anniversary of Mahler s death. Once again, Jansons stands out in these performances with his astonishingly keen eye for the smallest details. Like no other, Jansons possesses the ability to integrate all this beautiful detailing into the virtually infinite overarching climaxes that can make listening to Mahler s symphonies such an exciting experience.
