Korhonen, Mikko. – A Brief Catalogue of the Works of Gustav Mahler (st edn, version .) / Mikko Korhonen, edr – pp. : – Includes bibliography and index. Foreword G M was born in to a Jewish family in Bohemia. He exhibited musical talent starting at an early age. Mahler graduated om the Vienna Conservatory in and worked as a conductor in European opera houses and was highly regarded in that occupation. In he was appointed as director of the Vienna Court Opera (Hofoper). Mahler’s life was equently shadowed by personal tragedies, illness, strife with his wife A M, and other hardships including equent anti-semitism despite the fact that he converted to Catholicism in . Mahler died of pneumonia brought on by his heart defect in July at the age of . During his lifetime Mahler was better known as a conductor than a composer. Aer his death his works remained relatively neglected until the s and s when the Mahler revival began, lead by, among other, conductor L S, composer A C, and, most famously, conductor– composer L B. Mahler’s works are few in number but equently large in scale, being long, complex, and scored for large instrumental and vocal forces. Due to his oc- cupation as a conductor, Mahler mostly composed during the summer, which limited the time he had for this activity. Due to the low number of pieces nearly all of his works are a part of the standard concert repertory to this day. Today Mahler’s music is considered to be a bridge between th century Austro–German musical tradition and the modernism of the early th century. Musicologist and Mahler-scholar D C categorises Mahler’s work into three creative periods: () a first period om Das klagende Lied () to the end of the Wunderhorn settings in , () a middle period lasting om the fih symphony to the eighth and () a late period comprising of Das Lied von der Erde, the ninth symphony and the incomplete tenth symphony.

K a l i s c h (Adliswil) Angesichts der zahlreichen Mahlerliteratur scheint es eher f.rag­ wilrdig, d~eser einen weiteren Aufsatz hinzuzufiigen. Glaubt man doch, alle Problemfelder Mahlerschen Schaffens erfaBt zu haben und durch weitere Veroffentlichungen schon Gesagtes lediglich zu wiederholgen oder rsich in Banalitaten zu ergehen. Allein ein Blick in die veroffen­ tlichte Mahler-Literatur (1siehe das umfassende Verzeichnis der Von­ denhoffs) liiBt den Interess;ierten dariiber erstaunen, wie widerspriich­ lich und teilweise unvollstandig die Aneignung des Mahlerschen Ouevres in dessen Rezeptionsgeschichte vonstatten g1egangen ist. Die Kindertotenlieder sind ein solches Beispiel.1 Merkwilrdig um so mehr, aLs es geniigend Autoren gibt, die sich darum bemiihen, die Bedeutung der Kinderto:tenlieder zwar zu unterstreichen,2 aber den Beweis dafiir 1schuldig bleiben. Hinzu kommt, daB der Zeitgeschmack eher unvexstiindig auf Mahlers Wahl der Rilckertschen Lyrik reagiert, zumal Mahler als auBerordentlich literaturbelesen eingeschiitzt wird, Rilckert aber sicherlich heute nicht unter den »ganz GmBen« rangiert.3 Der VerweiJs auf »groBte Kiontrolle durch den kompositorischen Ver­ stand«4 vermag den angedeuteten Verdacht, Mahler wollte sich viel­ leicht in dem bedeutungsvollen Jahr 1901 (schwere Krankheit, Urauf­ fiihrung von »Da:s klagende Lied« und der »Vierten Symphonie«, Rilcktritt von der Leitung der Philharmonischen Abonnementskonzer­ te, Begegnung mit Alma Schindler, Beginn der Komposition der »Fiinf Rilckert-Lieder«, »Filnften Symphonie« und »Kindertotenlieder«; ge- * An dieser Stelle mochte ich Herrn Prof. Dr. U.

  • A Collection of Stan Ruttenberg's Reviews of Mahler Recordings From
    A collection of Stan Ruttenberg’s Reviews of Mahler Recordings from the Archives Of the Colorado MahlerFest (Symphonies 3 through 7 and Kindertotenlieder) Colorado MahlerFest XIII Recordings of the Mahler Third Symphony Of the fifty recordings listed in Peter Fülöp’s monumental discography (up to 1955, and many more have been added since then), I review here fifteen at my disposal, leaving out two by Boulez and one by Scherchen as not as worthy as the others. All of these fifteen are recommendable, all with fine points, all with some or more weaknesses. I cannot rank them in any numerical order, but I can say that there are four which I would rather hear more than the others — my desert island choices. I am glad to have the others for their own particular merits. Getting ready for MFest XIII we discovered that the matter of score versions and parts is complex. I use the Dover score, no date but attributed to Universal Edition; my guess this is an early version. The Kalmus edition is copied from who knows which published version. Then there is the “Critical Edition,” prepared by the Mahler Gesellschaft, Vienna. I can find two major discrepancies between the Dover/Universal and the Critical (I) the lack of horns at RN25-5, doubling the string riff and (ii) only two harp glissandi at the middle of RN28, whereas the Critical has three. Our first horn found another. Both the Dover and Critical have the horn doublings, written ff at RN 67, but only a few conductors observe them.

A comparison of the original Rückert text with Mahler's and his textual alterations, as well as a literal translation of the text, is included.
