Next week, Simon Rattle will conduct Bruckner’s Sixth, but first, Vladimir Jurowski took on Mahler’s Second, the Resurrection Symphony, with an orchestra of well over 100 players, the Philharmonia Chorus, and soloists Adriana Kučerová and Sarah Connolly.In its typically rather detached way, Jurowski’s account was both a fascinating exercise in historical reconstruction and a satisfying musical experience in its own right.
