MAHLER REVISITED

Blackheath Halls

Music Appreciation

Lectures

Monday Mornings

with

Matthew Taylor

Though Mahler has become one of the best loved and most widely played symphonic composers in

more recent times his music can provoke wildly different reactions and interpretations amongst

conductors, players, singers and listeners. This course will try to define the essential aspects of

Mahler's music by examining their origins, assessing how they influenced later composers and

questioning what direction he was taking; whether he represented a Farewell to Romanticism and

the death throes of pre-1914 or whether his all-embracing vision was actually more compatible with

the 20th century artist of the post-World War I period to come. So do join us for this Mahlerian Fest.
