The Embrace Everything podcast series is an exploration and celebration of the music of Gustav Mahler. Throughout his life, Mahler insisted that music had to, literally, embrace everything. This makes his compositions unusually rich in what they offer both audience and musicians. Each season explores a different Mahler symphony and includes interviews with leading conductors, music scholars and musicians. Additionally, Mahler’s own words and those of his contemporaries are read by actors.

One of the best music history experiences
Revisado: 10-09-22
I was hooked on the work of Gustav Mahler in the late 1980s when a friend suggested I listen to anything by him. So I purchased a recording of the second symphony on a whim. Ever since, I have consumed every bit of Mahler history I could get my hands, eyes, and ears on. But nothing has compared to the sumptuous complexity and depth of this podcast series.
Even if you have been immersed in Gustav Mahler history like I have, you will learn something new. And if you’ve never heard his music, please, just listen to any of these podcasts; if it doesn’t simply attract you with its power and beauty, it’ll hit your left brain hard.

More than many other composers, Gustav Mahler's works are highly personal expressions of his inner world, a world of overwhelming alienation and loneliness. You'll learn, through both lectures and musical excerpts, how his symphonies are vast repositories of his intellectual, emotional, and spiritual expression that made him the first exponent of Expressionism, the early 20th-century art movement that celebrates inner reality as the only reality - but explored by Mahler using the musical language of the century just ended.

A Great Survey of Mahler's Life and Major Works
- De Darwin8u en 11-08-14
An absolute must for all Mahler fans
Revisado: 02-28-20
Ever since I was introduced in a whim to the work of Gustav Mahler back in the early 90s by a man who quipped, “You enjoy heavy stuff like Zeppelin? Take a break from Mozart; you need to listen to Mahler.”
I was a member of the Columbia record club at the time and the featured classical CD of the month was a recording of Gustav maulers Symphony No. 2.
I dove in, and suffice it to say, I never looked back. I am a shameless and whole hearted devotee of the cult of Mahler.
Despite years of reading and documentary watching and classical performances all over the country, Professor Greenberg brings the joy and emotion of not only Mahler’s music, but the details of his life into palpable view in this series of utterly enjoyable lectures.
One often doesn’t think of “a great sense of humor“ when it comes to the work of Gustav Mahler. But Professor Greenberg is never without humor and wit from beginning to end of these lectures.
This is by far one of the most enjoyable listens I have yet experienced here on Audible.
