- Summary:
- This full scale biography of Gustav Mahler reexamines the composer's life and work and discusses the circumstances leading to his death in 1911. Focusing on Mahler's last decade, his tempestuous marriage to the alluring Alma Schindler, his work as a "summer composer", and his final years in America, Carr uses diaries, letters, and other material hitherto unavailable in English to challenge some of the most widely held assumptions about the composer. 235 photos.
