(November 2019) Episode 240 is GUSTAV MAHLER. He composed only songs and symphonies but, wow, what symphonies. Each one is a full course meal with several helpings — like a final culmination of the recipe refined by Beethoven (including the vocal elements), or an opera of his idol Wagner condensed into 75 minutes (without the theatrics).
Favorite piece: Symphony #5
