SKU: NX.DGCD21118

Composed by Gustav Mahler. Classical. Hybrid SACD. Naxos #DGCD21118. Published by Naxos (NX.DGCD21118).

Ever since its triumphal premiere on 12th September 1910 in Munich, Mahler's 8th Symphony in E flat major has had the reputation of being, along with Arnold Schonberg's "Gurre-Liedern", the piece on the whole of the symphonic repertoire calling for the largest number of participants. This recording has a number of musicians much less than the average, but Gabriel Feltz sees it more like a great chance. He used flanking positions for the choir in relation to the orchestra and lager parts of the choirs were facing each other, which gives especially the first parts stereophonic effects. For Feltz these performances of Mahler's 8th symphony on 3rd and 4th July 2018 were especially successful and fulfilling moments in his life as a musician.
