Mahler's Symphony No. 2 for Easter, April 2
 

Hey, friends!

My local public radio station, KPBS, will be rebroadcasting the San Diego Master Chorale's 2010 performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 2 ('Resurrection') with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra on Easter Sunday (April 4), for free.

If you're not familiar with the piece, this hilarious intro will quickly get you up to speed:

And here's a more serious take, but still with a lot more references to fish in the Third Movement than your typical Easter homily:

It's really a remarkable piece.

I know that 8pm Pacific Daylight Time (GMT +8) is not convenient for everyone, but the SDSO will probably post an on-demand link on this website the next day.

(I'm listening to their re-broadcast of our 2019 performance of Puccini's 'Glorious Mass' as I type this. I'm hoping an on-demand link will show up on that page tomorrow. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't....)

Mahler's Second Symphony is one of my favorite pieces.

A very good friend of mine makes award-winning documentaries about Mahler's work, so now's the time for me to plug his documentary on the Resurrection. This is it.

Hey, Martin and Rogerbob! I will watch that documentary tonight.

The following isn't the version the Chorale did, but it's pretty awesome, and only four and a half minutes long:

Julie, I don’t want to detract from anything here, however today is Easter for many, so here’s a link of “Silent Monks Singing the Hallelujah Chorus” :
