Mahler is big. Real big. (HUUUUGE, if you live in upstate NY and get to enjoy all those Fucillo car adverts). He famously — and way overquotedly — said that: A symphony should be like the world. It must embrace everything.
And my oh my, his symphonies have a heck of lot of stuff packed into them.
His musical style is pretty much Romantic, with little hints of the weird orchestrations and tonalities that the 20th century dudes went kind of crazy with.Mahler
