In this marvellous documentary, Leonard Bernstein goes back over his experiences conducting Mahler's works. In search of the musical roots and hidden truths that guided the great composer, Leonard Bernstein discovers the key to Mahler's music in his Jewish roots.
Starting with the song Der Tambourg'sell (from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, written in 1899), Leonard Bernstein goes through all the symphonies up to the Lied von der Erde.
