Choir of the Earth presents: Mahler Symphony No. 8 at YouTube

Choir of the Earth presents Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8 in E-flat, for double chorus, children's chorus, soloists, orchestra, and organ: a Concert Performance in aid of the Conservatorio Gustav Mahler de Irapuato, Salamanca, Mexico. We believe Choir of the Earth is the only choir in the world which has rehearsed and recorded this remarkable music in 2021. On Saturday 22 January 2022 at 18:00 GMT, after 12 months of work, John Warner will conduct over 1,000 separate voices, a children's choir, a full orchestra and soloists in a unique performance of the complete Mahler 8. The choir, orchestra and soloists all recorded their music from home. The only group to record their part together was the children's choir in Mexico. The teaching, conducting and sound engineering has been completed by John Warner, whose dedication to creating this online version of Mahler 8 has been extraordinary. The orchestration is provided by John's Orchestra for the Earth. SOLOISTS: - PART ONE - Soprano 1: Lucy Cox | Soprano 2: Fiona Fraser | Alto 1: Rebecca Leggett | Alto 2: Amy Blythe | Tenor: Tom Castle | Baritone: Ben Tomlin | Bass: Tom Herring - PART TWO - Pater ecstaticus: Malachy Frame | Pater profundus: Ben McKee | Doctor Marianus: John Upperton | Una poenitentium: Lucy Cox | Magna Peccatrix: Fiona Fraser | Mulier Samaritana: Rebecca Leggett | Maria Aegyptiaca: Bernadette Johns | Mater gloriosa: Helena Moore.

This school has a strong association with Mahler and is doing wonders for the education of these children via the power of music.
