Symphony no. 8

Album by Gustav Mahler & Minnesota Orchestra & Osmo Vänskä & Minnesota Chorale & National Lutheran Choir & The Minnesota Boychoir & Angelica Cantanti Youth Choir & Carolyn Sampson & Jacquelyn Wagner & Sasha Cooke & Jess Dandy & Barry Banks & Julian Orlishausen & Christian Immler

Symphony No. 8 is the eighth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, premiered in 1910. Scored for a very large orchestra with multiple choirs and soloists, it combines late-Romantic orchestral textures, expansive vocal writing and densely layered counterpoint, and it stands as a culminating large-scale work in Mahler's catalogue that explores transcendent symphonic-choral forms.
