Whenever there is mention of Gustav Mahler’s monumental Symphony No. 8, the superlatives begin to fly. The common epithet »Symphony of a Thousand« – which did not originate from the composer – already gives a taste of this. Mahler himself described his largest-scale choral work as »the greatest thing I have ever done«. And he certainly wasn’t just referring to the gigantic apparatus of some 500 performers, which required not only a huge orchestra and numerous choirs but also no... Read full text

Whenever there is mention of Gustav Mahler’s monumental Symphony No. 8, the superlatives begin to fly. The common epithet »Symphony of a Thousand« – which did not originate from the composer – already gives a taste of this. Mahler himself described his largest-scale choral work as »the greatest thing I have ever done«. And he certainly wasn’t just referring to the gigantic apparatus of some 500 performers, which required not only a huge orchestra and numerous choirs but also no less than eight soloists. It was, above all, a tremendous spiritual and religious quality that Mahler associated with this symphony. The passages he chose for inspiration were no less than the holy of holies of German national literature, the final scene from Goethe’s Faust II, and the time-honoured Pentecost hymn »Veni, creator spiritus«. Its premiere on 12 September 1910 was an overwhelming success. Even the great Thomas Mann was incredibly impressed, writing a letter of thanks to the composer, referring to him as »the man who, as I believe, expresses the art of our time in its profoundest and most sacred form.« To this day, performances of Mahler’s Eighth remain a rare spectacle. After all, it is not every day that you have top ensembles like the Prague Philharmonic Choir, the Rundfunkchor Berlin, the NDR Vokalensemble, the Knabenchor Hannover and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra come together with a first-class octet of soloists! And it is not everywhere that the stage can accommodate everyone, but this is no problem in the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall. After his acclaimed performances of the Symphony No. 3 with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, the star conductor Semyon Bychkov now continues his Mahler series, bringing the greatest that the classical and romantic repertoire has to offer to the podium.

Any talk about Gustav Mahler’s monumental vocal symphony No. 8 features one superlative after another: the commonly used nickname »Symphony of a Thousand« – not of the composer’s invention, incidentally – already points the way. Mahler himself called his biggest-scale work »the greatest thing I have ever written«, and he certainly wasn’t just referring to the huge body of some 500 participants, which includes several choirs, a huge orchestra and eight soloists. First and foremost, the composer was aiming at a tremendously high intellectual and religious level with this symphony. He chose to set two weighty texts to music: the holiest piece in all German national literature, the closing scene from Goethe’s »Faust« Part II, and the venerable Whitsun hymn »Veni, creator spiritus«. The premiere on 12 September 1910 was an overwhelming success. The writer Thomas Mann was deeply impressed, and sent the composer a letter expressing his gratitude for »embodying, as I see it, the most earnest and sacred artistic will of our time«. To this day, performances of Mahler’s Eighth come close to a spectacle – after all, it’s not every day that you can hear top ensembles like the Prague Philharmonic Choir, the Berlin Radio Choir, the NDR Vokalensemble, the Hanover Boys’ Choir and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra all at once, with a top-class octet of soloists added for good measure! And they don’t all fit on to the stage everywhere… But this is not a problem at the Elbphilharmonie, where star conductor Semyon Bychkov, after his acclaimed readings of the Third Symphony with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, now continues his Mahler series with the greatest work in the Classical-Romantic repertoire.
