Mahler: Symphony No. 8 - CD
Release date: October 23, 2026
The long-awaited physical release of Klaus Mäkelä’s outstanding performance of Mahler’s 8th Symphony, live with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra from the 2025 Mahler Festival, is being released globally for the first time.
“Conducting Mahler’s Eighth was one of the great moments of my life, which I will remember forever. I feel those two performances really carried a very special momentum for everyone involved. I certainly felt it on stage and hopefully it was also felt in the audience.” – Mäkelä
