The Mahler Companion

A brilliant gathering of international Mahler specialists writes about Mahler's music from a variety of standpoints. The global spread of the authors is matched by a series of chapters that document the international reach of the composer's own symphonies and song cycles, while previously unexplored areas of research receive attention, both places (such as London and Prague) and people (Mahler's only surviving and highly talented daughter--a sculptor--Anna). In short, a volume that draws on the best resources and most up-to-date information about the composer and will undoubtedly act as the authoritative guide for Mahler enthusiasts for years to come.
