House A Thousand Dolls (1967)

For its final concert of the 2021–22 season and Osmo Vänskä’s last as artistic director, the Minnesota Orchestra chose to present Mahler’s mammoth Eighth Symphony, which calls for one of the largest complement of performers in the history of music, a symbol of the communitarian spirit of collective cultural, social and religious-philosophical endeavour in what has been referred to as a ‘Mass for the Masses’.

It’s almost impossible to put into words just how amazing the year of 2018 has been for A State Of Trance and Trance music as a whole. Between introducing the video broadcast of A State Of Trance to the radio studio set-up and hosting several phenomenal ASOT events in places such as Utrecht in the Netherlands, Melbourne in Australia, Gliwice in Poland and more, we got to introduce loads of new, exciting Trance tunes to the fans and listeners every single week, which got us so many inspiring and unforgettable moments. And now, we launched the one thing able to capture all of those moments in one two-disc album: ‘A State Of Trance Year Mix 2018 (Mixed by Armin van Buuren)’.
