Description

This course offers a biographical and musical study of Gustav Mahler (1860-1911), noted composer and the greatest opera conductor of his time.

The symphonies of Mahler, a titan of post-Romantic musical history, are vast musical repositories of his intellectual, emotional, and spiritual expression.

His work constitutes the first generation of expressionism, the early 20th-century art movement that celebrates inner reality as the only reality.

You see Mahler as a complex, anxiety-bound visionary, whose continual search for perfection and the answers to life’s mysteries is profoundly reflected in his symphonies and songs. These lectures also include more than a dozen excerpts from Mahler’s symphonies and other works
