ABOUT
Mahler’s ‘greatest symphony’, according to Leonard Bernstein. The work was inspired by seven ancient Chinese poems and follows one of the most painful episodes in the composer’s life. He confessed: ‘I have lost everything I have gained in terms of who I thought I was, and have to learn my first steps again like a newborn’.
