Music reviews of G. Mahler: Symphony no. 8
Music Review: A Beautiful, Moving Recording of a Towering Masterpiece
Rating: 5 Stars
We had the privilege of hearing Boulez conduct the Mahler 8 on April 30, 2009 in the Musikverein in Vienna with nearly the same soloists. I am glad to have this recording as a souvenir. Boulez' interpretation is luminous and transcendent, beautifully phrased, beautifully sung (even the sopranos aren't audibly straining as on so many recordings - one can hardly blame them if they do!). To hear Mahler in that room, with those forces was a life changing experience and I am so glad that there is a recording.
Description of G. Mahler: Symphony no. 8
Legendary conductor Pierre Boulez brings his acclaimed Mahler symphonies cycle to a spectacular conclusion with this new recording of the monumental Symphony No. 8. Boulez teams up with Barenboim's Staatskapelle Berlin, the Berlin State Opera and Radio Choruses, as well as a strong cast of soloists including Michelle DeYoung, Johan Botha and Twyla Robinson to deliver his longawaited reading of what is arguably one of Mahler's biggest and most impressive scores, also known as "Symphony of a Thousand" due to the large number of musicians needed to perform the piece. This release crowns a more-than-decade-long project involving all the symphonies and major orchestral works of Gustav Mahler--a project that is both of highest personal value to Maestro Boulez and an important document of Mahler interpretation.General CDs
