Synopsis
Product Description
When it was first performed in 1910, Mahler s eighth symphony received a highly enthusiastic reception. In many ways, this composition, which he considered his magnum opus, takes up where Beethoven s ninth left off nearly a century before. Scored for an eight-part double choir, boys choir, eight soloists and a huge orchestra including organ, the work gained its nickname The Symphony of a Thousand as indeed, 1,004 performers took part in its Munich premiere. In this recording led by
Kent Nagano, the symphony s rich drama and fervid passion are revealed as never before.
