Das Mahler album

by Gilbert Kaplan

Gilbert Kaplan is a successful publisher and talented amateur conductor with a splendid obsession: the composer Gustav Mahler and his music. One of the fruits of his interest is this coffee-table book packed with image after image of the composer, his family and colleagues, the houses where he lived and the theaters where he worked. One of the most enjoyable features is a selection of period cartoons: "Mahler is told there is no audience left in the hall because everyone is needed to perform in his mammoth symphonies." Mahler fans will find this a must-have, although the price tag may separate the true believers from the mere music lovers.

All Mahler fans need to have this book, incredible photo-documentary of his life and times. Wonderful new edition at a much better price, get it now!

Fascinating. The most complete collection of Gustav Mahler Iconography imaginable, which includes fascinating details, such as the prescription of Mahler's eyeglasses, pictured on the cover.

A must for every Mahler fan - - unfortunately it's out of print.
