The Birth of Gustav Mahler

7 July 2013

 

Today is the 153rd Birthday of Gustav Mahler.  Mahler is more than a personal Hero.

 

There are so many stories to share about Mahler.  I discovered his Music at age 16.  I sat in a car by the water's edge and listened to one 20-minute excerpt from the 10th Symphony 100 times in succession.  Later en route to Japan to record the Chapter 5:8 World History-making CD Set, I did the calculation and yes, I had listened for 33.333 uninterrupted hours.  It was a chilling moment to discover that fact a Lifetime later while on a plane over the Pacific.

 

In SYNC with this day, here are some recent images.  Enjoy & Godspeed!  S
