About this listen

The Embrace Everything podcast series is an exploration and celebration of the music of Gustav Mahler. Throughout his life, Mahler insisted that music had to, literally, embrace everything. This makes his compositions unusually rich in what they offer both audience and musicians. Each season explores a different Mahler symphony and includes interviews with leading conductors, music scholars and musicians. Additionally, Mahler’s own words and those of his contemporaries are read by actors.

This first season with the Titan is just fenomenal! It was a great idea to let the music play along the text. Mahler was truly a composer ahead of his time and you can contemplate life itself hearing his symphonies. I hope you continue to the next (and my favorite) symphony, Resurection.

Great endeavor!

I listened to this before going to see mahlers second symphony live. It was extremely helpful to understand what was happening throughout the performance. Highly recommended!

As informative as it is Amazing!

I was hooked on the work of Gustav Mahler in the late 1980s when a friend suggested I listen to anything by him. So I purchased a recording of the second symphony on a whim. Ever since, I have consumed every bit of Mahler history I could get my hands, eyes, and ears on. But nothing has compared to the sumptuous complexity and depth of this podcast series.
Even if you have been immersed in Gustav Mahler history like I have, you will learn something new. And if you’ve never heard his music, please, just listen to any of these podcasts; if it doesn’t simply attract you with its power and beauty, it’ll hit your left brain hard.

One of the best music history experiences
