The Mahler 3 is scheduled for release this fall on Delos, using their trademark 5-channel Delos VR Surround Sound. This new technique helped the Dallas Symphony to garner a Grammy Award nomination in 1997 for best engineered classical recording of the rarely heard Russian choral version of the 1812 Overture. The chorus, to which I belong, is experienced in this piece. We have performed the work twice in the last five years. Chorus auditions for 80 additional singers commence in October and should expand the chorus to 320 adult singers, not to mention the children's choir.
Soloists are to be announced.
To make room for extra musicians, the choral terrace is being extended and the proscenium will be extended as well. In my message above, I should have said that the DSC sang at the 3,000th birthday of Jerusalem, not the 2000th. So get your plane tickets early if you decide to come.
