Alma Mahler The Heartbreaker with Arlene Phillips

Notable

Available for over a year

Alma Mahler was one of the most complicated composers of the 20th Century. History remembers her as a heartbreaker, an antisemite and an unreliable narrator, but was there more to her story than meets the eye? From the husband who stopped her from composing so she could be a homemaker, to the bitter ex-lover who made a lifesize doll of her then decapitated it in rage, Mahler's life was filled with shocking stories. So in this episode choreographer and TV presenter Arlene Phillips joins Tom and Ben to analyse the truths and myths behind Alma's life to place her on the monster scale. Listen only on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds. Produced by Audio Always Producer: Rufaro Faith Mazarura Exec Producer: Jo Meek Sound Design: Craig Edmondson
