Symphony no. 8

Album by Gustav Mahler & Joyce Barker & Beryl Hatt & Agnes Giebel & Kerstin Meyer & Helen Watts & Kenneth Neate & Alfred Orda & Arnold van Mill & London Symphony Orchestra & Jascha Horenstein

Symphony No. 8 is the eighth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, composed in 1906. It is one of Mahler's late large-scale works, scored for very large forces including multiple choirs, soloists and an expanded orchestra, and is cast in two broad parts that juxtapose sacred and secular texts within a late-Romantic idiom.
