'It is the best thing I have ever done,' said Mahler of his Eighth Symphony - for which tonight the Âé¶¹Éç National Orchestra of Wales and Thomas SøndergÃ¥rd, in his final season as Principal Conductor, join forces with no fewer than five choirs. One of the grandest symphonic statements of the repertoire, concluding with a dramatic setting of the mystical closing scene from Goethe's Faust, it's mammoth scale matches the impressive space of the Royal Albert Hall.
