Even such diverse composers as Varèse and Dallapiccola, are inconcievable without Mahler!

Schostakovich and Britten are greatest when they're most like Mahler!"

Hi everybody! Here is an interesting article about the very special posthorn solo in MAHLER's SYMPHONY NO 3:

Charlie Schlueter blows his first notes on the new Monette Rotary Posthorn. Dave Monette designed the horn for Charlie to use on Mahler III.
