Mahler

[robert wiener <wiener...>]

Today's New York Times Arts & Leisure section, p.27-28, has an article
by Nancy Raabe, "Mahler's Testament To the Abiding Unity of God and
Nature."   Raabe writes that Mahler's conversion from Judaism to
Christianity was one more of faith than of political convenience.  And
that his Third Symphony  "may harbor the strongest musical statement
of the composer's allegiance to the Christian faith: more, even than
in the last movement of the Second Symphony."
