| | 1. |  | Gustav Mahler: The Symphonies Paperback
from Amadeus Press
Price: $13.57
Customer Review:
By the time I opened this book I had already read more than a dozen biographies of composer Gustav Mahler. What could this one add?

| | 3. |  | The Life of Mahler (Musical Lives)
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $30.26
Customer Review:
At 228 pages long, including the index, this looks like a good introductory book on Mahler. As part of a series called "Musical lives" the reader would be further inclined to believe this is an introductory work.

| | 9. |  | Mahler: A Biography
from Overlook Hardcover
Customer Review:
The Author describes, at appreciable length, why Gustav Mahler was widely misunderstood both as man and musician. More than 50 years after his death his works were left apart until, restored to life prompted by interest and performance, Mahler took his deserved place in the repertoires.more info

This collection of 350 letters and telegrams from composer Gustav Mahler to his wife, Alma, illustrates the good and bad points of a fortunate and unfortunate marriage.
