Gustav Mahler

(1860-1911)

Mahler's was a great human soul whose visions, longings and emotions reached to the very boundaries of man's limitations. His works show him to be a creative musician of genuine originality, whose inspirations came from his deep humanity, from his love for nature and from his spiritual inner life.

--Bruno Walter





Mahler wrote 10 symphonies with the last one unfinished. He is also my favorite composer.
