The Real Mahler

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Reviled in his own day, and almost forgotten after his death, Gustav Mahler is now one of the most performed of all symphonic composers.
Norman Lebrecht tracks down recorded reminiscences by some of Mahler's closest contemporaries - his widow
Alma, his players, and conductors such as Walter, Stokowski and Klemperer - plus a 1905 recording of Mahler at the piano. Producer DANIEL SNOWMAN. Stereo
