Three choruses, a phalanx of soloists, Gergiev, and his Mariinsky Orchestra perform the mammoth work that received its triumphant first performance in Munich in 1910, only months before the composer died. The “Symphony of a Thousand” is one of a kind, a setting of Veni creator spiritus preceding the closing scene of Goethe’s Faust.

Valery Gergiev will be signing CDs after this concert.

The Minnesota Orchestra shines at Carnegie Hall. Over the last two seasons, its concerts have featured music by Beethoven and Sibelius, drawing rave reviews by critics such as Alex Ross of The New Yorker, who gushed that Minnesota sounded “like the greatest orchestra in the world” last March. This is your only chance to hear this orchestra play their specialties this year.
