My Time will Come: Gustav Mahler as remembered by Natalie Bauer-Lechner | Click here to watch
Director: Beate Thalberg
Filmmaker Beate Thalberg has crafted a docu-drama based on a little- known source of information on Gustav Mahler, the diaries of Natalie Bauer-Lechner, Mahler’s long-time confidante. The film portraits Mahler’s private and professional life from his student years in Vienna up to his marriage with Alma Schindler. The diaries evoke the man behind the artist and testify not only to Mahler’s erratic character and to his humour, but also to his dramatic struggle for recognition as a composer.
