Mahler's 5th - an Apology.
Hi y'all,
This is by way of being a belated apology to one of my early responders on this forum who recommended Mahler's 5th Symphony to me, at which point I made a rather disparaging response. 
As I type this I am listening, for the third consecutive time, to the Adagietto. Now this is music that I can just lay back, with eyes closed, and let the music, for it really is MUSIC, just wash over me. Obviously (hopefully), it is not the first time that I have heard it, but it is the first time that I have looked to see what it is that I am listening to. BEAUTIFUL, there is just no other word for it !!!
Questions: -
1) Is the rest of it as beautiful as the Adagietto?
2) Do you know any more like that?
Cheers,
DaveK.
