Dost thou wish to listen to the harmonies that charm the soul of man? Canst thou try the heavenly substance of powerful melody and harmony and emotion that is beyond the imaginings of most. Then perhaps you are ready for the music of the Master and this scintillating overview and analysis of the symphonies of Mahler. The author's insights provide depth and meaning for the brilliant innovative music of Mahler that is still astounding more than a century after its original composition.

A challenging book. I am just beginning to understand a little about Mahler. Read part of this as preparation for going to hear his third symphony.
