The first three volumes of Donald Mitchell's masterly examination of the work of Gustav Mahler are available here in a specially-priced paperback set. The titles included are Gustav Mahler: The Early Years, The Wunderhorn Years and Songs and Symphonies. The scope of these books is immensely wide: scholars will appreciate their absorbing research, performers will respond to the interpretive issues that Mitchell brings to the fore, while general readers will find texts that deepen and sometimes fundamentally modify their response to this marvellous music.
