Loading ...My Classical Notes Podcast-1: Mahler
Posted: Tuesday | 10.20.09
In this first podcast, I talk about Gustav Mahler: The Man and his Music
For the past 98 years since the death of this influential composer, many biographies,musical studies, PhD Theses, and other books have been written and read about Mahler, the man and his compositions. As such, I really feel somewhat humbled to be adding to this body of work, in particular because it is in the form of a podcast that lasts only a few minutes. However, every great part of history has both very long and somewhat shorter contributions…
Yes… I could talk with you about Mahler for several days. But let’s get started so that I can tell you some basics, and a few new things that you may not have known before…
Hank Zauderer is a radio volunteer on National Public Radio's KUSP radio in Santa Cruz - hosting programs and specializing in classical music. In particular, he loves the study of great composers and feels that music composition so often reflects the key events that took place in a composer's life.
