Capping off the Mahlerthon with a massive tour de force, the Colburn Orchestra and Los Angeles Master Chorale team up on the Second Symphony. “The effect is so great that one cannot describe it,” Mahler reflected. “If I were to say what I think of this great work, it would sound too arrogant in a letter. … The whole thing sounds as though it came to us from some other world. I think there is no one who can resist it. One is battered to the ground and then raised on angel’s wings to the highest heights.”
