BACH TO BOULEZ (pronounced 'back' to Boulez). Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Gustav Mahler. July 7,1860 - May 18,1911. One hundred years ago today Gustav Mahler passed away. Few words can describe the sorrow I feel of his passing away at such a young age. If only he had lived another 20 or so years, imagine what more he could have written.But the music he did leave us will live in the hearts and minds of those who do love his music. Thank-you Herr Mahler! Labels: Mahler memorial year. Mahler - Der Abschied 2/2.

Bach to Boulez: January 2012
http://thathurtsmyears.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
BACH TO BOULEZ (pronounced 'back' to Boulez). Tuesday, January 17, 2012. A hymn to the Sun. Nielsen's glorious hymn to the sun. "Helios Overture" has been a favourite work of mine since I first heard it in 1978. Recently I have re-examined Nielsen's music especially as regards the symphonies and the concertos. New discoveries are his wonderful 'Wind Quintet', the complete string quartets and the opera "Maskarade" which is absolutely glorious music.tuneful and full of great humour! A hymn to the Sun.
