Experiencing Mahler: A Listener's Companion: Listener's Companion
Autor Arved Ashbyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iun 2024
In addition to the standard nine symphonies, Ashby discusses Das Lied von der Erde, the three most commonly heard song sets (the Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, Kindertotenlieder, and Rückert-Lieder), and the unfinished Tenth Symphony (in Cooke's edition).
Experiencing Mahler is a far-reaching and often provocative search for meaning in the music of one of the most beloved composers of all time.

Recenzii
Highly Recommended: [Experiencing Mahler] will be appreciated by music lovers at all levels of expertise. The book is valuable as a journey through Mahler's oeuvre with an intelligent and perceptive companion, and as a good excuse to revisit the work of a most important but often misunderstood modern classical composer.
Ashby takes the reader on an informed tour of each work . . . Describing music with words is difficult, but Ashby is an engaging writer . . . What sets his book apart from similar efforts are CD timestamps . . . that allow readers to "drop the needle" on exactly what is being discussed at a given moment.
Where does one start? How could even a seasoned Mahlerian find fresh perspectives on his work? If you're completely new to Mahler's music, where do you go for an informed but approachable introduction? The answer to all three questions is Arved Ashby's Experiencing Mahler. Taking us one by one through the symphonies and major song cycles, Ashby combines history, analysis, and critical observation into a highly enjoyable and thought-provoking read. For a clear and informative introduction to Mahler, look no further.
A pleasure. Ashby takes us lovingly through each piece, page-by-page or even phrase-by-phrase. His ability to get into the ideas behind Mahler's scores, asking basic questions on meaning and style is refreshing and perceptive. Experiencing Mahler will make a great introduction to this enthralling composer, or a spur for the already initiated.
During the pandemic I've found myself teaching my Mahler course from home. Experiencing Mahler has been my closest companion- I consulted it nearly every day for Ashby's brilliant insights into the details of the music. This is a superb addition to the resources for studying Mahler.
A book like this succeeds if it leads the reader back to the music. I put the thing down every few pages because I just had to listen.
Immensely enjoyable, wonderful material that is both compelling and persuasive. The way Ashby frames and reframes our understanding of these pieces has provided me with new insights and new ways of approaching this music.
This is a book to read slowly and treasure: I found myself pouring over each paragraph with delight, wanting to digest every extraordinary thought. Ashby offers a world of poetry and imagination as he shares keen insights- involving philosophy, psychology, history, and culture- into this most complex of composers. Experiencing Mahler is a startlingly original book, and it should be required reading for every conductor. But then any Mahler lover will be enchanted by the dreamscapes that Ashby traces for these symphonic worlds.
