Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra The Westminster Choir College Symphonic Choir with Camilla Tilling, soprano Bernarda Fink, mezzo-soprano Simon Rattle conducting "The Berlin Philharmonic is inarguably one of the finest orchestras in the world, with an ilustrious history that includes names like Furtwängler and Karajan. Another name associated with the orchestra is Mahler. It was the Berlin Philharmonic that gave the premiere of Mahler's Symphony No.2, the "Resurrection," in 1894, with the composer conducting. Now Sir Simon Rattle brings the Philharmonic to Carnegie Hall to perform the "Resurrection" Symphony, with the Westminster Symphonic Choir, soprano Camilla Tilling, and mezzo-soprano Bernarda Fink. Also on the program are three short works by Mahler's contemporary Hugo Wolf."
