Why Mahler? by Norman Lebrecht
A century after his death, Gustav Mahler is the most important composer of modern times. Many believe his music has the power to heal emotional wounds and ease the pain of death. This title offers an account of Mahler's life and work, and also explores the Mahler Effect, a phenomenon that reaches deep into unsuspecting lives.
