@ Themusicman360: I don't know the exact 'prescription' for the choir, but I know it has to be large! Two reasons:1) they have not to be drowned by the huge orchestra2) especially the male parts are split up many times, so there have to be a lot of male singers

The greatest music written (other than the welsh national anthem).To do this, and Das Abscheid, marks his genius, and range.

I know that mahler wrote it for a large orchestra but did he write it for a choir as big as this.

Look at Rattle at 6.53....

This is really something, truly an emotional ride like none other. I have to admit though, it feels a bit like cheating to listen to this finale without making the journey through the rest of the Symphony. . .

You are so correct. This is the greatness of the 2nd and it implores us to recognize it as you have.

Bravo. It gladdens me to know someone else responds to Mahler's finale this way. |
