Mahler Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection"

Mahler Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection". Alan Gilbert conducts the New York Philharmonic at the Avery Fisher Hall on 9/10/2011 commemorating the attack on the World Trade Center buildings ten years earlier on 9/11/[01]. Singers are Dorothea Röschmann (soprano), Michelle DeYoung (mezzo-soprano), and the New York Choral Artists (directed by Joseph Flummerfelt). Directed by Michael Beyer; produced by Paul Smaczny. This performance is also known as A Concert for New York: In Rembembrance and Renewal. Grade: Help!

David Gutman in the February 2012 Gramophone at page 55 has interesting information about this live performance in New York and generally praises it. It appears Gutman only saw the DVD, which is the norm for magazine reviewers.
