| | The Mahler Symphonies: Symphony No.2 The 'Resurrection' by Tony Duggan |
| | As with his recording of the First Symphony, of his two studio recordings for Decca it's his earlier one with the London Symphony Orchestra of 1964 (448 921-2, coupled with his LSO First Symphony) that I prefer for the reasons I outlined in my survey of First Symphony. | | | Decca Legends recording (466 992-2) was made in 1975 it was only the third time the Vienna Philharmonic had recorded a Mahler symphony in a studio. | | | No sense of having to force a personality on the music's dark lyricism and with lower strings continuing the purpled-hued qualities of the first movement. |

| | Mahler Symphony No.2 on Record |
| | One complaint: the CD is coupling is Symphony No. 2 mvts 1,2,3,4,5(i) on CD1 with 5(ii) and Symphony No. 1 on CD2. | | | As with their composition, the first three movements of the symphony were performed separately, before the entire work, on March 4, 1895 at a Berlin Philharmonic concert. | | | Personally I don't think he's succeeded; there is considerable evidence (including the piano rolls Mahler himself made of the last movement of the fourth and first movement of the fifth symphonies) to suggest that Mahler's conducting style would seem much more eccentric beside the acceptable late twentieth norms. |

| | Belle Epoque - Mahler: Symphony No. 2 |
| | Mahler's Symphonies Symphony No. 1 Symphony No. 2 Symphony No. 3 Symphony No. 4 Symphony No. 5 Symphony No. 6 Symphony No. 7 | | | The first movement is based on the rhythm of a funeral march and features music on a vast scale in the key of c minor representing the image of death. | | | The reaction of Bülow was terrible: He held his hands over his ears and said: "If that's still music, then I do not understand anything about music." This was certainly an important reason why Mahler did not continue to work over the Second Symphony for another two years. |

| | Mahler Symphony No. 2 - Stokowski |
| | In 1965 Stokowski performed Symphony No. 2 with the American Symphony Orchestra in New York, two years later he conducted it again in Philadelphia, and in 1974 made an RCA recording in London & was 92 at the time. | | | It's surprising that the recording is not in stereo; Horenstein's Mahler Eighth of several years earlier was in effective two-track sound, but Symphony No. 2 has well-balanced, spacious sound. | | | The recording was made during difficult times and does not represent the famed conductor at his best; for that one must listen to this BBC performance from 11 years earlier. |
