Gustav Mahler - Music, Love and Cruel Fate | Biographical Documentary | Part 1

Video Description

Gustav Mahler is one of the most popular composers in the classical world, his symphonies and other works regularly performed across the globe. But in his lifetime he was better known as a conductor and his own compositions often fell onto unappreciative ears. In his forties he married the flamboyant and 19 years younger Alma Schindler and much of what we think we know about Mahler comes from her notoriously unreliable memoirs. In this biographical documentary, Prof Yorston, explores the tumultuous and tragically short life of Gustav Mahler, challenging some of the myths about his fragile neuroticism to discover the real Mahler, the passionate Mahler, the man who created some of the most emotionally intense music ever written.
