Mahler 2 recording with Benjamin Zander nominated in the Grammys

The new recording of Symphony No.2 'Resurrection' by Gustav Mahler with soprano Miah Persson, mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly, the Philharmonia Chorus and the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Benjamin Zander has been in the nominations for this year's Grammy Awards. The nomination - Mahler: Symphony No. 2 'Resurrection' (Benjamin Zander, Stefan Bevier, Philharmonia Chorus & Orchestra) - is in the portfolio of Elaine Martone in the category of Best Producer of the Year

The recording was regarded as the 'one to take away' in a comparison of recent releases of the symphony on BBC Radio 3's CD Review in March earlier this year. The recording is available from Linn Records.

The Philharmonia Chorus was prepared by chorus master Stefan Bevier, and the recording was made in Watford Colosseum under the supervision of recording engineer Robert Friedrich and his team.
