In Reply to: Where would Mahler's first four symphonies be without Hans Rott? [nt] ;-) posted by Chris from Lafayette on November 18, 2021 at 00:46:04:
Honestly, Rott left him with a room full of paint cans to play with. It is vaguely possible that Mahler might have simply been a house painter without the epiphany of the young Rott!
That, or, simply a legendary conductor born too early for a truly representative sampling, ala Nikisch. Or (of course) Mahler might have evolved as another VERY different type of genius composer.
Mahler...infested by Rott rot!:-)
And...let us have a moment of silence for what Rott himself might have brought to the world!:-(
