Mahler: Symphony No.5

In this series of talks on Western classical music, Dr. Cavas Bilimoria takes listeners through musical concepts, the lives of composers and their famous works, sprinkled with examples of recorded music. The first talk of the month is about Mahler, the extraordinary composer who infused his symphonies with the drama and musical variety of an opera. He used the medium of the symphony to explore ideas written in prose. Composed at a pivotal time in Mahler’s life when death seemed near, Symphony No. 5 explores many manifestations of vast emotional scope.
