1Gustav Mahler: Origins
In Origins Michael Tilson Thomas journeys to the provincial Austro-Hungarian city of Mahler's childhood, traces his musical roots, follows his rise as a young conductor, and, with the help of the San Francisco Symphony, escorts us through the stunning creation and shocking premiere of Mahler's First Symphony.
2Gustav Mahler: Legacy
Legacy explores Mahler's grand achievements and great sorrows—his career-crowning appointments in Vienna and New York, and the sudden, tragic death of his daughter—and shows how his stormy inner life inspired new heights of creativity.
