Set List'Symphony No.8 in E Flat Major, ‘Symphony of a Thousand’', Mahler
Performance NotesIt is the biggest thing I have ever done,’ said Mahler of his Eighth Symphony – for which the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and its Principal Conductor Thomas Søndergård tonight join forces with no fewer than five choirs.

One of the grandest symphonic statements of the repertoire, concluding with a dramatic setting of the mystical closing scene from Goethe’s Faust, its mammoth scale matches the impressive space of the Royal Albert Hall.

There was no interval.
