...Gustav Mahler's massive Eighth Symphony is something like Texas-big as all get-out, very impressive in spots, and full of flat and windy stretches. It requires so huge a cast that it has seldom been performed in the U.S. (the last time was in 1942).

The ode concerns God's splendor, which according to the concert notes is Mahler's substitution for God's judgment. At any rate, this reviewer, for one, does not know whether the tenors were properly balanced with the sopranos or if the basses were in good voice, but he asserts that the tone of the choral groups was always pleasant and controlled, even when they were called upon to join...
