Discovering Mahler is the fourth and final volume of Donald
Mitchell's unique studies of Mahler and his music. It fills the
remaining gaps in the scrutiny of Mahler's works in the series,
principally the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Symphonies, with the Ninth
and Tenth. Discovering Mahler is the fourth and final volume of
Donald Mitchell's unique studies of Mahler and his music. This new
publication fills the remaining gaps in the scrutiny of Mahler's
works in the series, principally the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh
Symphonies, with the Ninth and Tenth. It begins with a substantial
survey of Mahler's music, commissioned for the sixth edition of
Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1980), but here printed
in full for the first time. A striking feature throughout this
collection is the examination of the revelatory role of the
performer; this is epitomized in transcripts of significant
conversations about the Fifth and Seventh Symphonies with,
respectively, Riccardo Chailly and Bernard Haitink. The concluding
section consists of major lectures and celebratory essays, some
here published for the first time in English. These form a
fascinating and frequently moving personal testament to a lifetime,
and specifically fifty working years, of discovering Mahler. Donald
Mitchell's three previous studies of Mahler are among the enduring
monuments of postwar Mahler literature. He was awarded the Gustav
Mahler Medal of Honour of the International Gustav Mahler Society
in Vienna in 1987, and was appointed CBE in 2002.
