No one, of course, doubts that Gustav Mahler's tenure at the Vienna Court Opera from 1897-1907 was made extremely unpleasant by the anti-semitic press. By painstakingly reconstructing 'the language of anti-semitism', the author recreates what Mahler's audiences expected, saw, and heard, given the biases and beliefs of turn-of-the-century Vienna.
