Mahler 8: Symphony of a Thousand
Album by Gustav Mahler & Gerard Schwarz
Symphony No. 8 in E-flat major, known as the Symphony of a Thousand, is a symphony by Gustav Mahler, completed in 1906. The work employs very large forces — including a large orchestra, multiple choirs and soloists — across two expansive parts that blend late-Romantic harmony, dense orchestration and large-scale choral writing, and it stands as one of Mahler's culminating large-scale compositions that helped push symphonic practice into the early 20th century.
