Title: Mahler 8 w/ 1,200 in Kazakhstan (Borat would love this!)

It reads like Borat wrote this. I wonder if they're fudging on the total number of performers (?).  Where's Sacha Baron Cohen when you need him?

The photo of the performers in the Kazakhstan is a little reminiscent of the one when Stokowski conducted the American premiere in 1916.
