The première of the Symphony No.8 turned out to be a major triumph for Mahler. It took place in Munich on September 12, 1910, and was announced without Mahler's knowledge by the concert promoter as the "Symphony of a Thousand", due to the large number of artists collaborating in the performance. Thomas Mann, who had been present at the event, afterwards stated that Mahler was the composer, "who embodies the most genuine and holy artistic will of our times, as far as I can make out."
