"The world premiere of Gustav Mahler's Eighth Symphony in Munich in 1910 was the artistic breakthrough for which the composer had yearned all his life, filling Munich's huge Neue Musik-Festhalle on two successive evenings to rapturous and tumultuous applause. Representatives of many European royal houses were in attendance, along with luminaries of literary and musical world. Also in attendance were Alma Mahler, the composer's young wife, and Alma's longtime lover, the architect Walter Gropius. Knowledge of their relationship would precipitate an emotional crisis in Mahler that, compounded with his heart condition and the death of his young daughter Maria, would lead to his premature death the next year, in 1911. In The Eighth, Stephen Johnson provides a masterful account of the symphony's far-reaching effect on composers, conductors, and writers of the time -- Berg and Schoenberg, the teenage Korngold, Bruno Walter and Klemperer, and Zweig and Mann. Johnson's story of the masterpiece and of the fate of the man who created it makes for absorbing reading and will be a must-read for classical music lovers"--

Während der Begriff ›klassische Musik‹ heute oft allgemein als Synonym für europäische beziehungsweise ernste Musik (E-Musik) verwendet wird, umfasst die Epoche der Klassik im engeren Sinne die Zeitspanne von der Mitte des 18. bis zum Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts. Dies war eine Epoche, in der man die griechische und römische Kunst der Antike wieder entdeckte. Aber es war auch eine Epoche großer sozialer und politischer Unruhen, die die etablierte Ordnung herausforderten und schließlich in der Französischen Revolution und der Herrschaft Napoleons gipfelten. Das vorliegende Hörbuch zeigt, wie sich all dies in der Musik widerspiegelte, die in diesen turbulenten, aber auch ungeheuer kreativen Jahren entstand. Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven sind nur drei der musikalischen Genies dieser Epoche, die Stephen Johnson porträtiert und deren unsterbliche Musik sich auf dem Hörbuch entdecken lässt.
