Symphony no. 8

Album by Gustav Mahler & London Symphony Orchestra & Leonard Bernstein

Symphony No. 8 is a symphony by Gustav Mahler, completed in 1906. Scored for unusually large forces including a full orchestra, multiple choirs and soloists, it features expansive orchestration, dense contrapuntal textures and a melding of symphonic and vocal forms, and it represents a late-period exploration of spiritual and theatrical elements in Mahler's symphonic output.
