Mahler and his wife look to put recent tragedies behind them and find a beautiful new place to spend their Summers. But Toblach, in the Dolomite mountains, will be the scene for yet more turmoil and grief.

Gustav Mahler: brilliant, fiery and tyrannical 鈥� leader of some the most prestigious musical institutions of his era 鈥� fought battles his whole life. He clashed with his colleagues, scrapped with critics and wrestled endlessly with his own desires and ambitions. This week, Kate Molleson navigates us through his many personal and professional struggles, and follows Mahler to the countryside hideaways where he sought (not always successfully) to escape the drama of his everyday life. Here, among the lakes and mountains, Mahler also found space to compose and he poured the whole world into his music in all its ugliness, mundanity and transcendent beauty.
