Discovering Music - Mahler: Symphonies of Songs - Episode 2

Logo for Discovering Music - Mahler: Symphonies of Songs - Episode 2

Stephen Johnson continues his exploration of Mahler, examining the echoes of his songs in his later symphonies. Whilst their influence is not as obvious as in the first four symphonies, the songs' subtle resonances in these later works play an important role in the understanding and unpicking of the emotional depths of Symphonies 5-10.
