Splendid — If you like your Mahler King Size…

and who doesn’t. Find a recording of the Choral Arts Society of Washington with a world class symphony orchestra (and the LSO more than qualifies) you should capture it for your classical collection.

Nobody prepares a chorus any better than Norman Scribner/Joe Holt. The precision of the entrances and the balance of the sections sets this chorus above all others. This comes through loud and clear in the recording

The rich texture and majestic delivery of this Mahler monster as performed in St Pauls will leave you exhilarated and feeling like you were there. Maestro Gergiev took full command of this piece and it is now my standard against which all future Mahler 8’s will be judged.
