The world premiere of Mahler’s colossal Eighth Symphony, in Munich in September 1910, was the greatest success of his life. Ten years earlier, his then future wife, Alma, had received this blunt verdict from her step-father, the painter Carl Moll: ‘Mahler? Great conductor. Also composes – but it’s no good.’ Until 1910, many would have shared Moll’s doubts about Mahler as a composer; but with the premiere of the Eighth Symphony all that changed. Mahler’s PR man, the wily and brilliantly theatrical impresario Emil Gutmann, did a superb job. It was Gutmann who coined the eye-catching nickname ‘Symphony of a Thousand’, to Mahler’s initial horror – though he relented somewhat when he saw how much interest Gutmann had stirred up. Munich’s colossal new Music Festival Hall was sold out, twice. (Gutmann insisted on two performances.) The audiences included a dazzling array of A-list names from the musical and literary worlds, and there were representatives of several European royal houses. The first performance, under Mahler’s own direction, was, for once, well prepared, and the response was sensational, from the audience in the hall, and afterwards in the press. In a sense, however, Mahler had done a lot of Gutmann’s work for him. …

Munich, September 1910. A tidalwave is flooding the world of music. Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 in E-flat major has just premiered, conducted by the composer himself. This monumental symphony was a triumph in terms of its duration and the number of performers involved. Mahler’s impresario, Emil Gutmann, used the term “Symphony of a Thousand” for promotional purposes, much to the composer’s displeasure. It was an inspired turn of phrase though, which has persisted to the present day.

The two-part work uses two forms of writing which differ in every respect: the Veni Creator Spiritus, a ninth-century Latin poem probably written by the monk Raban Maur, and the ending of Goethe’s Faust. However, an impression of great coherence emerges from the whole: the two texts each evoke ideas of transcendence, but an incarnate, earthly transcendence, accessible to Man.

This production brings together the London Philharmonic with three impressively uniform vocal ensembles (the London Symphony Chorus, the Clare College – Cambridge Choir and the Tiffin Boy’s Choir). – Pierre Lamy
