Havergal Brian's monumental choral symphony, completed in 1928, is mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest symphony, both for its length and for the massive forces required to perform it. Based (like Mahler's eighth symphony) on Goethe's Faust and a choral setting of the Te Deum, the Gothic was the first of 32 symphonies, most of them composed in isolation and obscurity. Paul Guinery is joined by composer John Pickard to introduce the only CD recording of this work.

Eva Jenisova (soprano), Dagmar Peckova (mezzo), Vladimir Dolezal (tenor), Peter Mikulas (bass), Slovak Philharmonic Choir, Slovak Opera Chorus, Slovak Folk Ensemble Chorus, Lucnica Chorus, Bratislava City Choir, Bratislava Children's Choir, Youth Echo Choir, Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra, Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Ondrej Lenard
