Sunday Night Special 1… Mahler’s 1st Symphony

The name comes from the night of the week when for some of us, the demon of insomnia hits the hardest… and because my preferred antidote is getting lost in some music. Of course this series is for everyone… but it is perhaps intended a little more for those of you whom distractions and apprehensions… racing imaginations and freewheeling thoughts hold suspended at the edge of sleep. The idea of the special is to play just one piece, uninterrupted and in its entirety… with a few minutes of background explained at the end of the episode. This week… Gustav Mahler’s 1st Symphony.
