Niesamowite, moje ulubione dzieło Mahlera przeszyte kunsztem harmoniczno-formalnym, przewyższającym innych znacznie kompozytorów. Miałem szansę dyrygować tą symfonię w Hong Kongu. Mówi się, że utwór nad którym się pracowało nie budzi już takich emocji... jest to jednak stwierdzenie błędne - wiem to z autopsji.
This symphony should be performed at an American Football Stadium with the orchestra spanning the whole length of the Ball Field and the Choir spanning the seating bowl behind the orchestra from end zone to end zone. It would sound more like 100000 than 1000.
This is an excellent performance and in my opinion (of course) so much better than the Solti version even with his stellar line up of musicians. The Solti Chorus Mysticus is rushed and falls flat and the cymbal crashes sound like saucepan lids! LOL.
5:35 & 5:52 The best tamtam I've heard for this piece. Not as bright, but more dull and deep, sounds more mystical as if it were sent from space.
The soloist are just... amazing! Probably the best ones I've heard
Oh My God! The Brass at 5:02 is Heavenly!!!

Beautiful playing and luminous recording!
Whooooh! magnificent!
Mahler 8 the,bloated leviathan of a symphony,this seems the most credible recording I’ve heard.
Exquisite music and rendition.

For as highly regarded as the Solti M8 is, I agree with you-the finale always feels like he was in a hurry to get home.
Only the sound here. But this is the best interpretation since Bernstein.
Beautiful! I like it more than Bernstein!!
Beautiful indeed, but a shame that the 2nd soprano didn’t sing the correct notes ascending to her Bb. Other than that, wonderful sound.
soooo beautifully singed, Polish voices - best ever!
