"What one makes music from is still the whole - that is the feeling, thinking, breathing, suffering, human being," wrote Mahler to Bruno Walter. If we didn't know that Mahler faced imminent death, we would still know that the music could not have been written except by one who is facing the ultimate test

(2) The Change of the Sound
Electricity refined the way sounds were captured in time, adding a new dimension of fidelity to the acoustic phonograph. The invention of magnetic recording tape represented a quantum leap forward in audio technology. For the first time, thanks to tape, sound could be manipulated. Featuring the voices of the late Karlheinz Stockhausen, Les Paul, Steve Reich and Holger Czukay
What had been the representation of a singular moment in time became a malleable moment in space. It was the change of the sound. This episode includes The Change of Sound remix by Caribou (CBC)
