Gustav Mahler’s life changed in the midst of writing his Fifth Symphony. He met the beautiful Alma Schindler, herself a composer and the woman who would inspire him for the rest of his life. The Fifth contains what might be called Mahler’s “greatest hit”: the Adagietto, often performed as a standalone, is a hymn to his love for Alma, rapturously slow and caressed by lustrous strings and harp.
