BY Christian Much
"Joe Horowitz' The Marriage portrays Mahler with more power and poignancy than anyone else ever has. Set in a spider web of New York City wealth, power, and intrigue, the writing is so profoundly personal, so searingly intimate that it is sometimes painful to read - to get that close to Mahler and his wife Alma. (...) A truer, more human Mahler than we have ever before encountered. Alma is also fabulously drawn, with all her love and antipathy towards her husband."
JoAnn Falletta, Music Director, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra
