Experiencing Mahler A Listener's Companion
Experiencing MahlerĀ surveys the symphonies and major song sets of Gustav Mahler, presenting them not just as artworks but as vivid and deeply felt journeys. Mahler took the symphony, perhaps the most tradition-bound genre in Western music, and opened it to the widest span of human experience. He introduced themes of love, nature, the chasmic depth of midnight, making peace with death, facing rebirth, seeking oneās creator, and being at one with God. Arved Ashby offers the non-specialist a general introduction into Mahlerās seemingly unbounded energy to investigate the elements that make each work an experiential adventureāone that has redefined the symphonic genre in new ways.
In addition to the standard nine symphonies, Ashby discussesĀ Das Lied von der Erde, the three most commonly heard song sets (theĀ Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen,Ā Kindertotenlieder, andĀ RĆ¼ckert-Lieder), and the unfinished Tenth Symphony (in Cookeās edition).
Experiencing MahlerĀ is a far-reaching and often provocative search for meaning in the music of one of the most beloved composers of all time
