<p><i>Gustav Mahler: Letters to his Wife</i> is undoubtedly the best way to understand Mahler as a man and as a composer: in his own words, intimately detailing his inner world to his wife, Alma.<br><br> ''Are Collected Letters a superior form of biography? When as numerous and meticulously edited as these of Gustav Mahler, when they provide a time capsule ride back to the last days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the answer must be yes . . . This remarkable book is unputdownable, even for a non-Mahlerite.'' <i>Literary Review </i><br><br>''The letters are linked by a commentary that makes the volume both an easy and gripping read . . . There is passion in this book to scald the hand.'' <i>Sunday Times<br><br></i>''A vivid and telling portrayal of Mahler''s personality in his voice.'' <i>Times Literary Supplement</i></p>
