“Check it out. Mahler didn’t make any of those lists.”
He is listed as a Romantic just after Puccini in the Overview list.
With Mahler we see the culmination of the Romantic era. I adore his music, especially the 5th Symphony.
He can be melancholic, bombastic, sarcastic or sublimely tender; the 5th is a journey into the extremes of emotion. From no other symphony have I received so much, each listening a discovery of something new, something deeper.
