This coming Tuesday night, I will be chatting for two hours with Bill McGlaughlin and Dave Osenberg on WWFM about Mahler in New York. The show will be streamed live at www.wwfm.org<\/a> from 7 to 9 pm ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The topic is my new novel, The Marriage: The Mahlers in New York<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, about which Bill has written:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis book is a tremendous achievement. . . . For the first time in my experience, Alma Mahler emerged not as a stick figure in the margins of the story, but central. Wayward, mercurial, fascinating, devoted to her husband and yet living (and concealing) her own life. As I read I became increasingly fond of her and sympathetic in a way that was new to me. . . . Mahler is now heard around the world. And this book deepens our experience and satisfaction and love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll be sampling interviews with musicians who played under Mahler with the New York Philharmonic (1909-1911) \u2013 and also historic Mahler recordings by Oskar Fried and Dimitri Mitropoulos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we\u2019ll explore the stormy relationship between Mahler and Henry Krehbiel, the formidable \u201cdean\u201d of  New York City\u2019s music critics, who notoriously called Mahler\u2019s New York tenure a \u201cfailure.\u201d What did he mean by that? What\u2019s its pertinence right now, when orchestras are struggling to redefine their mission and that of their \u201cmusic director\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tune in and find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
