With its enormous vocal, choral and orchestral forces, Mahler’s Eighth Symphony, later to be dubbed 24-bit, 96 kHz Stereo and Surround recordings. ‘Symphony of a Thousand’, is one of the largest and longest symphonies in the active repertoire.
Mieczyslaw Weinberg (Sovietperiod: Vainberg) is an extremely subtle and delicate composer: the music breathes a warmth that is seldom found in contemporary classical music. Yet upon hearing Weinberg's works one is startled by their intrinsic power. The composer was a very modest person, and because of this he has remained unknown and in the shadow of others, even though his music is no less great.
