Mahler Symphony No.2 in C minor, "Resurrection" with the Bournemouth Symphony Chorus

The Amadeus Orchestra return to Exeter Cathedral with the Bournemouth Symphony Chorus for a performance of Mahler's epic second symphony, subtitled "Resurrection". The piece calls for over 100 instrumentalists, large choir and two soloists.
