Mahler:
 Symphony No. 8 in E flat major 'Symphony of a Thousand'

"Now at last Mahler's Symphony of a Thousand can be heard on record at something approaching its full, expansive stature. Here is a version from Solti which ... conveys the feeling of a great occasion ... so overwhelming is the build-up of tension"
Gramophone Magazine

"Outstanding in every way, extrovert in display but full of dark implications...one of [Solti's] finest Mahler records."
