Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 2 in C minor ('Resurrection')
Singer: Zhengrong Cul. Singer: Jie Yang. Choir: China Opera and Dance Drama Chorus. Orchestra: Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra. Conductor: Long Yu.
I heard just the last 20 minutes of this, without knowing the artists: the sound (on my little bedside radio) was rather extraordinary (strong brass sounds, double timpani?).... Worth a listen. A mezzo with very wobbly vibrato not at all to my liking but it sounded to be an exciting performance.
