Mahlerian revelation
Thank you for the cover CD of Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 on your September issue. It is revolutionising my life. For years I’ve been trying to listen to and appreciate Mahler’s music, only without success. The music has always seemed larger than life, sprawlingly over-the-top, formless. Now, thanks to this performance by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra conducted by Thomas Dausgaard, I think I’m at last learning how, is another part of my ear opening. Thank you. Who knows, I might yet learn to hear Bruckner’s and Wagner’s music, too!
