Gustav Mahler

3.9/5 ( ratings)

"The distinguished author and conductor, Bruno Walter, knew Mahler well, and had much in common with him. Both men were exiled from their native countries because of their religion and this gave Walter a common feeling when performing Mahler's works, which in turn led to a deep and respectful understanding of the complicated mind of the composer.
This is an affectionate tribute to Mahler and contains Bruno Walter's reminiscences, memories and impressions of the man, without in any way being a technical analytical study. It is often forgotten that Mahler was also a superb and revered conductor, not merely of his own music, and this fact also lends common ground to Walter's recollections. Yet this is an objective work, for as Michael Kennedy states, 'Walter hero-worshipped Mahler thenceforward, but was not blind to his hero's faults or the manifestations of his autocratic behaviour.'
Here is a portrait of Mahler the man and musician in a lucid, readable style by a first-hand authority."
