  • Sublime

    I wholeheartedly love this podcast. I don’t have any music instruction but have always been fascinated by Mahler and couldn’t put to words why, but this podcast, one symphony/movement at a time is filing those gaps, for which I’m grateful.

  • Extremely educational

    Thank you for this podcast , I’m learning so much , having listened to Mahlers music for many years.

    I had no idea there was so much documentation, from Mahler himself and from others , about what it all means and about the thoughts, feelings and visions he wanted to set to music. Fascinating!
