Esa-Pekka Salonen & Symphony No. 2 by Mahler

The Baltic Sea Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary with a jubilee concert featuring the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Swedish Radio Choir and Eric Ericson Chamber Choir under Conductor Laureate Esa-Pekka Salonen in Gustav Mahler’s magnificent second symphony, The Resurrection. According to Mahler, “a symphony must be like the world, it must embrace everything”. Never has this quote seemed more relevant than in this magnificent symphony in which the composer takes the listener on an extraordinary musical journey with the help of the orchestra, choir and soloists – from the opening funeral march to the finale’s heavenly tones, radiant with light and hope.
