MAHLER

Symphony No. 2 ‘Resurrection’

 

Klaus Tennstedt  - conductor

Yvonne Kenny - soprano

Jard Van Nes mezzo - soprano

London Philharmonic Orchestra

London Philharmonic Choir

 

Recorded live at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, London on 20 February 1989

 

Previously unavailable recording of a live critically acclaimed concert performance.

 

Tennstedt remains a phenomenon today. His performances prompted some of the most eloquent critical journalism committed to paper in recent history.

Tennstedt had an extraordinary relationship with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Whilst he brought something sonically very special from the ensemble, its players and audiences gave him a happiness and fulfilment he never experienced elsewhere.

There have been strong sales for earlier Tennstedt releases, and this exciting interpretation of Mahler’s second symphony is certain to continue this trend.

The performance was recorded with the involvement of the Music Performance Research Centre (MPRC).
