Gustav Mahler : le titan foudroyé

Gustav Mahler: the titan struck by lightning.
Didier PATEL

The last giant of Romanticism, through his immense symphonies and moving Lieder, Mahler was also a dominant figure in the musical life and the bubbling modernity of pre-war Vienna. A complex and divisive personality, he fought adversity with energy throughout his life. His music resonates with the pains and hopes of his life: it is a sublime meditation on the tragedy of human destiny.
