With a detailed preface by Giselher Schubert. Mahler 2 – written between 1888 and 1894 and known as 'Resurrection Symphony'. Mahler found inspiration for the final 'Resurrection' movement at the funeral of Hans von Bülow.

Among the most popular of Mahler's symphonic works the 7th symphony has neither a program nor a folk-song theme. It is a purely instrumental composition both hopeful and romantic in feeling. The restrained mood and thematic economy of the symphony make it one of the least extravagant of the composer's works; it is also one of the most approachable. Now music lovers can study this edition of the complete score reprinted from the authoritative German edition of 1909.

Score-Just as the Payne/Elgar Symphony No. 3 is not Edward Elgar's definitive statement Mahler did not complete a Symphony No. 10. He did however leave 'a work fully prepared in the sketch ' the complete unorchestrated musical material. Had he lived Mahler would almost certainly have shaped the material further. This means that the performance edition prepared by Deryck Cooke in the early 1960s is not a completion it's an orchestration of the short score left at Mahler's death in 1911. It nevertheless sounds very 'complete ' both in itself and as a summation of the romantic-epic 19th century German musical tradition.

All of Mahler's symphonies are now available in the Eulenburg catalogue.Mahler 2 – written between 1888 and 1894 and known as 'Resurrection Symphony'. Mahler came up with the idea for the final movement 'Resurrection' at the funeral ceremony for Hans von Bülow. Mahler 3 – the middle of the three symphonies which sets texts from the poetry collection 'Des Knaben Wunderhorn' to music and is often described in the history of reception as peak of Mahler's monumentality. Mahler 9 – the last finished symphony; composed in a creative frenzy as a farewell of a great superstitious composer; often regarded in the history of receptionas work of the highest compositional value and as transition to a new musical epoch.
