Keeping Score | Gustav Mahler: Legacy (FULL DOCUMENTARY AND CONCERT)

In part two of Keeping Score: Mahler, MTT examines 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. The show charts Mahler’s mercurial career as a conductor, from the Vienna Opera to Carnegie Hall in New York, as well as his tempestuous relationship with his wife Alma. At Mahler’s simple grave in a Grinzing cemetery, MTT explains why Mahler has so profoundly affected his own life. Shot on location in the Czech Republic, Austria, New York, and in performance in San Francisco’s Davies Symphony Hall. Bonus Features: Full-length concert performance by the San Francisco Symphony of A Mahler Journey. Featuring selected movements of Mahler’s Symphonies 5 (Adagietto), 7 (Scherzo), 9 (Rondo burleske), and Songs of Wayfarer with baritone Thomas Hampson.
