About

Recorded at St Paul's Cathedral in July 2008, this is the sixth title in Gergiev's mighty Mahler cycle.

Concert Review:
"Gergiev caught the crucial moment of expectation to perfection. But in the end it was the shattering power of several hundred voices, an expanded orchestra and full cathedral organ that delivered the mightiest of Mahler's symphonies with the sonic splendour it demands." - London Evening Standard
