Mahler: Symphony No.8 in E flat - "Symphony of a Thousand" (Boulez) New Rip!

With this new recording of the monumental Symphony no. 8, legendary conductor Pierre Boulez brings his acclaimed Mahler symphonies cycle to a spectacular conclusion

Boulez teams up with Barenboim’s Staatskapelle Berlin, the Berlin State Opera and Radio Choruses, as well as a strong cast of soloists including Michelle DeYoung to deliver his long-awaited reading of what is arguably one of Mahler’s biggest and most impressive scores, also known as “Symphony of a Thousand” due to the large number of musicians needed to perform the piece

This release crowns a more-than-decade-long project involving all the symphonies and major orchestral works of Gustav Mahler – a project that is both of highest personal value to Maestro Boulez and an important document of Mahler interpretation

“Boulez’s Mahler is revelatory in its leanness . . . a life-changing experience for anyone who thought they knew their Mahler.” (Financial Times)
