For the Love of Mahler: The Inspired Life of Henry-Louis de La Grange

For the Love of Mahler presents a portrait of the famed French-American music historian Henry-Louis de La Grange, now 90. The film joins him on his annual migration from Marrakech to Paris and to Toblach in the Italian Alps, while he busily works on revising his epic four-volume biography of Gustav Mahler. How Mahler’s music inspired his life, and how Henry-Louis channeled what could have been a self-indulgent obsession into a lifetime of groundbreaking discoveries, famous friendships and award winning accomplishment, demonstrates the remarkable power of music to change lives.
