Yannick Nézet-Séguin's new Mahler recording marks a return to the core symphonic repertoire with the Philadelphia Orchestra Gustav Mahler's Eighth Symphony was billed as the "Symphony of a Thousand" exploring themes of redemption through the power of love.
The performances with the Philadelphia Orchestra under the baton of its music director Nézet-Séguin in March 2016 marked - almost to the day - the 100th anniversary of the glorious U.S. premiere by the very same orchestra in 1916, then conducted by Stokowski.
"It's a wonder the roof wasn't lifted clean off Philadelphia's Verizon Hall during this live recording of Mahler's epic. This is brilliant music-making that will leave you breathless." BBC Music Five Stars
