Beskrivelse
Gustav Mahler, Memories and Letters is his wife, Alma’s account of her life with the brilliant composer and conductor. Although many historians stress occasional errors and distortions on Alma’s part, can many of us really overcome the foibles of seeing things through our own eyes? Yes, sometimes she does not remember correctly which symphony he was conducting on a particular day. But this book does provide readers with insights into what daily life was like with this musical genius. His letters demonstrate both his love for music, and his goal of doing justice to each composer’s intentions, AND his abiding love for his wife and daughters.
