Alma Mahler-Werfel was one of the most fascinating and ambivalent
of twentieth-century women. Her book "Gustav Mahler: Memories and
Letters" (1940) includes 159 of Mahler's letters, yet only 37 of
these were published in their original, unedited form. Alma's
omissions, abridgements and alterations were all part of the
legend, and reveal that it was her intention to present herself in
as flattering a light as possible. This new edition restores the
original texts, and includes a further 188 letters as well as
other, hitherto unpublished documents. The letters are supplemented
by commentaries, which provide background information about the
people and events mentioned in them, and help place the letters in
their cultural and historical context. These documents depict a
close and sometimes explosive relationship between two people of
widely differing background, character and temperament. The Mahler
that emerges from these authentic, unabridged sources is warmer and
more touchingly human than the figure as presented by Alma in her
expurgated selection of Memories and Letters.
Complex symphony integrates on a truly grand scale the musical ideas, forms and media that dominated the composer's creative life. A two-part work, the symphony is scored for orchestra, eight solo voices, double chorus, boys' choir and organ. A monumental masterpiece, affordably priced for students, performers and Mahler admirers.
Gustav Mahler spent 14 years exploring the musical potential of German folk poetry, and this volume comprises some of his most significant work. It features authoritative editions of his settings of five poems by Friedrich Rückert, known as the Rückert Lieder: "Blicke mir nicht in die Lieder" (Look not, love, on my work unended); "Ich atmet einen linden Duft" (I breathed the breath of blossoms red); "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" (O garish world, long since thou hast lost me); "Um Mitternacht" (At midnight hour); and "Liebst du um Schonheit" (Lovst thou but beauty). A pair of songs from Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Youth's Miraculous Horn) are also featured: "Revelge" (The dead drummer) and "Der Tamboursg'sell" (The drummer-boy).
