In Reply to: RE: Why is it OK when Mahler does it? Nt posted by jdaniel@jps.net on March 27, 2017 at 11:45:13
There was a time when Mahler's music was not universally respected, to say the least. I saw an interview of Leonard Bernstein in which he relates that when he began working on it with the Vienna Philharmonic, not all of the orchestra's players were happy, to put it mildly.
Yet nowadays nobody questions Mahler's place among the major composers. Musical taste is a funny thing.

I was late to appreciat Mahler, REALLY late, but I knew the problem was ME and not that of Mahler. As a dyed in the wool 'rhomantic', it's taken me a while to learn to appreciate music within its own context. As I posted here earlier, I don't think it would make any sense to set Yevtushenko's writing to music from The Nutcracker, even though it's Russian, but WTFDIK I'm not a musicologist.
That said I'm putting the boys pictured above in my VERY late group of composers for appreciation.
As in the years after my passing. =:-0

I'm sommat of a Mahler fan.
