A Sorceress of her Time

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by Michael Bakewell.
"My life was beautiful. God gave me to know the works of genius in our time before they left the hands of their creators. And if, for a while, I was able to hold the stirrups of these horsemen of light, my being has been justified and blessed". (Alma Mahler)
Married in turn to Gustav
Mahler, Walter Gropius and Franz Werfel -
Alma Schindler was one of the outstanding beauties of her day in Vienna. She surrounded herself with men of genius and inspired either deep love or loathing in all who met her.
