Symphony no. 8

Album by Gustav Mahler & London Philharmonic Orchestra & London Philharmonic Choir & Tiffin Boys’ Choir & Klaus Tennstedt

Symphony No. 8 is the eighth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1906 and premiered in 1910. Scored for a very large orchestra, multiple choirs and vocal soloists, it uses late-Romantic harmony, dense textures and a synthesis of symphonic and vocal forms that exemplifies the scale of Mahler's late-period output and his contribution to the orchestral-choral repertoire.
