Mahler 2 is the second album from Philharmonia Records, following their first album - Santtu conducts Strauss.

“[Also sprach Zarathustra] Rouvali’s conducting of both is certainly interesting and person- al… impressive, an expansive reading that sees the work whole…[An Alpine Symphony] undeniably picturesque, vivid and dramatically projected…top-notch playing, and this ex- travagant score also enjoys notable recorded sound… lingering lyricism, invariably heartfelt and, in conclusion, cathartic” - Colin’s Column
