Listening to music was all fun and games until this slick guy came along. Listening to Mahler's (90-minute) symphonies is like watching action-romance flicks, some of which have nihilistic endings. You get thrilled and all emotional; sometimes you end up reeling, other times unsatisfied. He's made me cry thrice (more than any other composer). Listening to Mahler is a taxing investment, and I'm not sure if a few tears are worth the trouble.
