"Komponieren ist ein wirklich seltsamer Vorgang. Ohne dass man anfangs weiß, wohin es führt, fühlt man sich immer weiter und weiter über die ursprüngliche Form hinausgetrieben, deren reicher Gehalt doch, wie die Pflanze im Samenkorn, unbewusst in ihr verborgen lag." — Gustav Mahler

The Mahlers settled in to the Hotel Majestic on Central Park West and 72nd Street, taking a suite on the 11th floor with a commanding view. (In subsequent seasons they would reside closer to Carnegie Hall at the Hotel Savoy on 59th Street and Fifth Avenue.) Mahler immediately set to right critical accounts in the press of his ill-temper and autocratic manner. “I am the most amiable man in the world,” he promised, proving his preemptive critics wrong by working patiently with everyone in rehearsals.
His debut performance of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde on January 1, 1908, was a success: The critic for the New York Times credited the “remarkable” and “superbly effectual” performance to Mahler’s direction. Yet sour notices in the German and Austrian émigré papers needled the conductor. Old grudges had rooted in fresh soil. “Everything here is generous and healthy,” he wrote to a friend, “but spoiled by the immigrant gang.”
