Mahler's Symphony of a Thousand from Hanover
Massed forces fill the vast dome of the Kuppelsaal des Congress Centrums, Hanover, in a performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 8, conducted by Ingo Metzmacher.
'It is the best thing I have ever done,' said Mahler of his Eighth Symphony - for which tonight the NDR Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Ingo Metzmacher join forces with no fewer than eight choirs. One of the grandest symphonic statements of the repertoire, concluding with a dramatic setting of the mystical closing scene from Goethe's Faust, it's a work on a mammoth scale.
