Our new blog is where we are publishing all information regarding performances, festivals, interviews, new editions, recordings and reviews up to and during the two Mahler anniversary years 2010 and 2011, and where we are pointing to content about Gustav Mahler on the internet.
If you are planning an activity related to Gustav Mahler in the anniversary years (or in the run up), let us know, and we will publish it here.
Deutsche Grammophon and Decca have launched a new website celebrating Mahler’s 150th birthday and giving customers the opportunity of voting for their favourite Mahler recordings. These will be released this autumn in a new box set.
They have also made out-of-print recordings available, which you can now listen to online.
On the occasion of Mahler’s 150th birthday a Gustav Mahler anthology has now been published in Italian. Thanks to the comments of those who admired and respected him, the anthology plays a valuable role in keeping his spirit alive.
Il mio tempo verrà
The figures quoted include musicologists, musicians, authors and great thinkers, all of them united by their deep passion for and their profound knowledge of Mahler.
Ernst Bloch, Richard Strauss, Arthur Schnitzler, Thomas Mann, Arnold Schönberg, Alma Mahler, Theodor W. Adorno, Glenn Gould, Leonard Bernstein, Daniel Barenboim and Claudia Abbado are just some of the great names selected by Gastón Fournier-Facio, the artistic coordinator of the Teatro alla Scala; names that contribute to creating a living image of the master and a careful analysis of his works.
