Why Listen to Mahler?

Gustav Mahler has been one of my favourite composers since I discovered Classical Music – and in this video I try to explain why he holds that place, from many angles, channelled through the extraordinary, moving story of Mahler’s life and works.

I hope you can consider this a complete introduction to Mahler’s life and works, and a compelling springboard for a musical journey into the depths of Mahler’s soul.
