Mahler knew how to think big. For his Symphony No. 2, “Resurrection,” he stuffed the stage with 270 musicians, including 10 trumpets and 10 horns in the original score. It took Mahler five years to complete the symphony, which stretches more than 80 minutes and holds a special place among musicians and audiences. Today, millions of people have heard the Resurrection for the first time not in the concert hall, but in the movie Maestro, the 2023 biopic on Leonard Bernstein, as portrayed by Bradley Cooper. The work is a journey from darkness to light, and follows a similar path of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. “It’s probably the most impressive piece of music you can hear in concert, and the most glorious climax ever written,” says Florida Orchestra Music Director Michael Francis.
