What is Mahler: with Eight Pages of Plates and Music Examples in Text about?

In recent years there has been a tremendous increase of interest in the music and personality of Gustav Mahler, now regarded as a crucial figure in the transition from nineteenth- to twentieth-century musical styles and developments. Mahler's music is a particularly intimate reflection of his life and thought, his sense of isolation springing from his Jewish birth and his continual introspective self-questioning on matters of belief and the role of mankind. 'The symphony is the world', he said, 'it must embrace everything.' In this story of Mahler's life, the author re-examines all existing material, corrects some factual errors and shifts some of the emphases. He attaches particular importance to Mahler's conducting and finds him a less neurotic, unreasonable figure than has sometimes been presented, but unquestionably a great and tragic personality
