Goodbye to Hamburg
Mahler retreats to his composing hut on the shores of Lake Attersee, following some devastating family news, and makes an important decision about his future. With Kate Molleson.
Mahler retreats to his composing hut, on the shores of Lake Attersee, following some devastating family news, and makes an important decision about his future.
Gustav Mahler: brilliant, fiery and tyrannical 鈥� leader of some the most prestigious musical institutions of his era 鈥� fought battles his whole life. He clashed with his colleagues, scrapped with critics and wrestled endlessly with his own desires and ambitions. This week, Kate Molleson navigates us through his many personal and professional struggles, and follows Mahler to the countryside hideawarys where he sought (not always successfully) to escape the drama of his everyday life. Here, among the lakes and mountains, Mahler also found space to compose and he poured the whole world into his music in all its ugliness, mundanity and transcendent beauty.
