Summary: Carr, a British journalist living in Germany, has been researching Gustav Mahler's life and attending performances of his music since 1960. His concise, caring portrait turns flinty (and more captivating) whenever Mahler's wife, Alma, is the subject. By turns Carr describes, quotes, argues with, dismisses, apparently mistranslates, and yields to her, making plain his conflicting feelings toward her.
