Michael Tilson Thomas examines Gustav Mahler's creative growth, from the 1890s to his death at the age of 51 on May 18, 1911, including his symphonies, the Rückert songs and Das Lied von der Erde.
"Mahler: Legacy" examines Mahler's grand achievements and great sorrows -- his career-crowning appointments in Vienna and New York, and the sudden, tragic death of his daughter -- and shows how his stormy inner life inspired new heights of creativity.
