Austrian late-Romantic composer and conductor (1860–1911), best known for his symphonies and Lieder.

Gustav Mahler (1860–1911) was an Austrian late-Romantic composer and conductor. He completed nine numbered symphonies and Das Lied von der Erde, left a fragmentary Tenth Symphony, and is famed for large-scale orchestral and vocal forces (including the "Symphony of a Thousand"). He was an influential conductor and served as director of the Vienna Court Opera in the late 1890s–1900s.

DeBaser reviewers celebrate Mahler's emotional scope and orchestral imagination. Highlights include the Ninth, the Adagietto from the Fifth, the Resurrection (Symphony No.2) and the Tragic Sixth. Reviews mix personal memory, programmatic reading and technical appreciation.
