A Good Read...,
By Sébastien Melmoth (Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mahler (Master Musicians) (Paperback)
.In the hackneyed phrase, this seems a "fair and balanced" presentation and critique of Mahler's life and works. It's not exhaustively long, which makes it a pleasant read. By the way, Kennedy rates Das Lied von der Erde as Mahler's greatest overall work Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde / Bernstein, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra ; he also highly esteems the Kindertotenlieder, and rates the Sixth as Mahler's greatest symphony Mahler: Symphony No6; Rückert Lieder : I think he's pretty close to being right on all scores. .

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent introduction,
This review is from: Mahler (Master Musicians) (Paperback)
Two books in one, because it divides sharply into two parts. The first half, running about 110 pages, is a very readable biography. The second half, running about 75 pages, provides analysis of what you'll hear in each of Mahler's compositions. For example, one chapter is devoted to "The Song of the Earth" and it runs 11 pages. This makes the book a very useful reference for getting to know each of Mahler's works.
