Gustav Mahler
0 - Default Title
Description
From his birth in Bohemia, then part of the mighty Austro-Hungarian empire, to a survey of his early works, many now lost, 'Gustav Mahler: The Early Years' forms an indispensable prelude to the period of the great compositions. The conflicts which came to mark Mahler's music and personality had their beginnings in his childhood and youth. Without understanding the territorial, social and familial conflicts of this time one cannot truly appreciate the impulses behind the major symphonies and song cycles of his later years. DONALD MITCHELL was born in 1925. Two composers have been central to his writings on music, Gustav Mahler and Benjamin Britten. His three studies of Mahler, 'The Early Years' (1958), 'The Wunderhorn Years' (1975), and 'Songs and Symphonies of Life and Death' (1985), are among the enduring monuments of postwar Mahler literature. He was founder Professor of Music at the University of Sussex (1971-76), was visiting Professor at King's College, London, and is currently a visiting Professor at the Universities of Sussex and York.
