Donald Macleod explores Mahler's life in New York City, a hustling and bustling metropolis that even presented him with women's suffrage marches right outside his hotel apartment window, in this midweek Composer Of The Week offering.
Despite a successful second season conducting the New York Philharmonic, tragedy struck again when Mahler discovered his wife was conducting an affair with young German architect Walter Gropius.
There's also a chance for listeners to hear Sir Georg Solti conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in the First Symphony and Claudio Abbado with the Vienna Philharmonic in the famous Adagio from the unfinished Tenth, and more.

Ready cash is not as ubiquitous as it once was, but it is unlikely ever to be a problem for a group of twenty-somethings who gathered at the Dorchester.
BBC Radio 4 has exclusive access to Citi Private Bank's Next Generation programme – a week of financial cosseting and reflection for 55 children of the bank's wealthiest clients, whose combined family wealth is north of 15 billion dollars.
They came from Lithuania, Brazil, the Middle East, America, and elsewhere, to listen to the finest minds the world's biggest bank could muster on how to spend it, keep it or give it away.
Journalist, author and broadcaster Jim White was there, and rubbed shoulders with the heirs and heiresses of the Next Generation.

Iconoclasts is a controversial debate series which offers BBC Radio 4 listeners a chance to join in the discussion whilst the programme is on air.
Edward Stourton chairs a live, informative and thought-provoking discussion series which gives listeners an insight into the thinking and motivations of someone who has been prepared to put their head above the parapet – someone who has shaken beliefs or venerated institutions which they hold dear, not because they can but because they care. The series aims to make listeners feel part of the discussions rather than bystanders listening in and, occasionally, shouting at the radio when they disagree with the views expressed.
Each week, an Iconoclast is given a set time to set out their stall as to why they believe what they do. They are then challenged in a discussion by three experts with differing views on the subject. During the discussion, Edward Stourton feeds in comments and questions from the audience listening at home via texts and emails.
In this first programme, psychologist and writer Dr Susan Blackmore argues that, though people make a distinction between the "use" and "abuse" of alcohol, as soon as a drug is made illegal suddenly the "use" of that drug is impossible and it is only possible to "abuse" it.

Phil Lynott, former lead singer of the rock band Thin Lizzy, escaped the poverty of his Dublin childhood by launching a music career and found fame in the Seventies with hits such as The Boys Are Back In Town and Dancing In The Moonlight.
The singer always led a flamboyant rock 'n' roll lifestyle and, as he struggled to deal with the pressures of his career and problems in his personal life, became involved in drug and alcohol abuse.
In this special one-hour retrospective featuring insights from James Nesbitt, Huey Lewis and Lesley Crowther, Lynott's work and life is remembered by those closest to him. This series was first broadcast on BBC Radio 2 in 2006 and concludes tomorrow night.
