'It is the best thing I have ever done,' said Mahler of his Eighth Symphony - for which tonight the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales and Thomas S酶nderg氓rd, in his final season as Principal Conductor, 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.
