Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony takes the listener on a truly transcendental journey. In Mahler’s own words, “The first movement depicts the titanic struggles of a mighty being still caught in the toils of this world; grappling with life and with the fate to which he must succumb – his death”. The last movement deals with “the resolution of the terrible problem of life – redemption". Mahler wrote of the last movement, “The increasing tension, working up to the final climax, is so tremendous that I don’t know myself, now that it is over, how I ever came to write it.”
