2008-07-13 16:14:00 by Patrick J. Smith in The Penitent Wagnerite
 
...Mahler's music a bit too much. He notes What is striking is that I don't seem to be the only one. Last year, a fellow fan announced that he had finally had it with Mahler. He could no longer listen to his music: it was just too cloying, too riven by insecurity, even - whisper it - too long. These were the sorts of accusations my girlfriend -...
