I'd like for Mats to clarify this.  The only Mahler performance attended by
Hitler that is documented by Henry-Louis de La Grange took place on May 8,
1906, in Vienna.  Mahler conducted Tristan.  As far as I know, there is no
evidence that Hitler ever heard Mahler's music in live performance.  Can
anyone refute that?
