Symphonie No.8

Album by Gustav Mahler & Giuseppe Sinopoli & Philharmonia Chorus & Southend Boys’ Choir & Philharmonia Orchestra

Symphonie No. 8 is the eighth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1906 and first performed in 1910. A large-scale choral symphony that blends late-Romantic orchestral forces with vocal soloists and chorus, it exemplifies Mahler's expansive orchestration and his exploration of symphonic and vocal fusion at a pivotal point in his career when he was producing increasingly monumental works.
