Henry-Louis de La Grange, whose massive, detailed tomes documented the life and music of Mahler, has passed. Although I've tired of Mahler, one cannot but admire the devotion of La Grange, who spent his entire career researching Mahler.

Great set of books, too. I remember when they came out. Very readable. nt, posted on February 10, 2017 at 08:39:26

from peek at Amazon, books have entered the range of "collectable" ie unaffordable.
Off to the library

Try Abe Books. They seem to have the first couple of volumes listed at reasonable prices. The other two volumes -- yikes! Of course, the last two volumes were always rather expensive, because huge. Vol 3 was 1,000 pages.

I guess my post confused you. I'll try again.

First two volumes still very reasonably priced via Abe Books. The other two volumes are expensive everywhere, but have always been expensive.
