Traditional Tuesday: Mahler's 2nd Symphony Movement 5 (part 2)

As expected from the end of a symphony Mahler has reached a dramatic ending but not in a way that I would have predicted. Instead of big brassy sounds and catchy rhythm he uses long tones and tonality. I haven't yet listened to the full symphony but am sure once I do I will appreciate this ending even more. The video I have chosen includes English translation of the German lyrics.
