Album by Gustav Mahler & Eliahu Inbal & Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra

Symphony No. 8 is the eighth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1906 and first performed in 1910. A vast choral symphony in the late-Romantic tradition, it combines expansive orchestral textures with large vocal forces and stands as a major culmination of Mahler's experiments in integrating chorus and orchestra within his late oeuvre.
