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?
