The world premiere of the Eighth Symphony of Gustav Mahler (1860 - 1911) on 12 September 1910 in Munich under the composer's own direction was a triumph. As never before, the star conductor was also acknowledged by the public as a composer. The work had been composed four years prior to the premiere. "It is the largest that I have done so far. And so individual in content and form that one cannot write about it," the director of the Vienna Court Opera reported in August 1906. OehmsClassics presents the SACD as a live recording of the concerts performed at the Cologne Philharmonie in September 2011.
