Conductor, composer, and writer Bruno Walter (1876-1962) worked
closely with Gustav Mahler as the composer's assistant and protege.
His revealing recollections of Mahler were written in 1936, marking
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the composer's death. Walter first
encountered Mahler more than 40 years earlier, when he served as
the composer's assistant conductor in Hamburg. He worked with
Mahler again at the Vienna Opera, and after the composer's death
conducted the debut of the Ninth Symphony and "Das Lied von der
Erde."
A staunch supporter of Mahler's genius and defender of his dour
personality, Walter cites the pressures faced by a gifted artist
striving for perfection. This edition of his tribute to his friend
and mentor features supplemental materials that include a
biographical sketch of Mahler as man and artist by Ernst Krenek,
the composer's son-in-law and musical heir, and a new Introduction
by Erik Ryding, author of "Bruno Walter: A World Elsewhere."

And Others. Edited By Minna Lederman.
