Desperately Seeking Mahler
This is a great story about a guy who heard Mahler’s Second Symphony, and fell so in love with
But Mahler’s symphony would not let him rest. Over the next few years he attended every performance within reach, met his future wife in the adjacent seat at London’s Royal Festival Hall and, as the obsession intensified, took 18 months off work to study the score and discuss it with such leading interpreters as Leonard Bernstein, Sir Georg Solti and Leonard Slatkin.
It’s an amazing tale of one man’s love for classical music, and how he has made his dream a reality.
Now then, it’s about time I got onto the Carmina Burana…
