MAHLER Symphony No. 8
Mahler’s Eighth Symphony, the so-called “Symphony of a Thousand” for eight soloists, large chorus, children’s chorus, organ, and orchestra, was the composer’s most ambitious work philosophically as well as musically. In this oratorio-like work, Mahler pairs a vast setting of the hymn “Veni, creator spiritus” with the redemptive final scene of Goethe’s Faust, striving for the widest possible scope of spiritual optimism.
