[concert] Mahler - Resurrection Symphony - Philharmonia / Bach Choir, Zander.

Mahler: Symphony #2 'Resurrection': Philharmonia Orchestra / Bach Choir, Sylvia Schwartz (sop), Katarina Karneus (mezzo): conducted by Benjamin Zander. Westminster Cathedral, 24.03.09

I'd never heard this piece performed live before, and I'm not sure I've even listened to it all the way through: at any rate, there were plenty of surprises -- you haven't been surprised musically until the Westminster Cathedral organ comes in, fortissimo, just behind you.
