Product Description
From Library Journal
This is actually a translation of a 1976 German publication with some revisions. Rather than a narrative, it is a compilation of documents: letters, reviews, diary entries, newspaper accounts, concert programs. The Blaukopfs have edited these sources and placed them in chronological order so that Mahler's life is told through contemporary writings. Although the widely contrasting writing styles sometimes jolt the eye, it is fascinating to read Mahler's words and to view him through the eyes of those who knew him well. This is a vivid social history and a first-rate collection of significant Mahler documents.
