The 80th edition of the Prague Spring will culminate in a performance of arguably the largest-scale work in the classical concert repertoire. Symphony No. 8 by Gustav Mahler (1860–1911) for eight soloists, two mixed choirs, children’s choir and a vast orchestra with organ earned the subtitle “Symphony of a Thousand”. The mammoth task to conduct the Czech Philharmonic in this full-length work was entrusted to Semyon Bychkov, who is regarded as one of the greatest Mahler conductors on the scene today.
