Some of them were personal friends, concerned with countering biased criticism of him in which German-nationalist, hide-bound traditionalist or anti-Semitic elements were often mixed. In this new biography, Peter Franklin reconfronts the myth of Mahler-the-misunderstood-hero and attempts to find the person, or persons, behind the legends. His illuminating biography shows Mahler to be a profoundly sensitive thinker and composer, a dictatorial conductor and husband, an iconoclast and paradoxically, a traditionalist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51941671502112,"sku":"NEW0521461995","price":63.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-life-of-mahler-musical-lives-0521461995","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
