Recorded live at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, London, on 21 January 1991
Popularly known as the ‘Symphony of a Thousand’, in this live recording of Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 from 1991, over 528 singers and musicians are led in a vibrant, life-affirming performance by one of the greatest interpreters of Mahler’s music, Klaus Tennstedt.
The soloist line-up includes some of the most celebrated operatic singers of the twentieth century including sopranos Júlia Várady and Susan Bullock and American tenor Kenneth Riegel.
This double disc CD features the combined choral forces of the London Philharmonic Choir and the London Symphony Chorus as well as 50 boys from Eton College Boys’ Choir.
‘It was an inspired a Mahler performance as Tennstedt has ever conducted, with an inevitability, a sense of spiritual grandeur and adventure, that renewed all one’s youthful faith in a work which one feared might have lost its power, thrill and surprise for ever’. Daily Telegraph on the recorded live performance of Mahler Symphony No. 8 in 1991.
