Symphony No.2 in C Minor
"The Resurrection"

Holland Festival (12 July 1951)

Kathleen Ferrier, Jo Vincent

Conducted by Otto Klemperer
Concertgebouw Orchestra
Amsterdam Tonkunstchoir

New Edition:
REMASTERED 2005

This concert has been previously available on different labels for some years but never in this sound, nor with the original occasion recreated by inclusion of the broadcast commentary in Dutch and German as well as the stupendous ovation accorded Ferrier, the others and Klemperer at the conclusion. The decision to issue the broadcast arose after careful comparison was made to the sonics of all previous issues; the original broadcast sound was sufficiently better that we decided it had to be published. Includes a generously illustrated booklet with extensive articles about Mahler, about the symphony and about Ferrier’s relationship to Mahler’s music as well as a comprehensive biography about this great singer.
