Classical Music Playlist, July 7, 2022
Today is Gustav Mahler’s birthday (1860-1911). And it’s also the perfect time of year for the over half-hour opening movement of his 3rd Symphony which in early writings he described as the arrival of Spring and the triumphant entry of Summer. Being such a lengthy and self-contained statement, we’ll feature the First Movement from Mahler’s 3rd as today’s Midday Masterpiece at 2:00 pm.
