Blessed with exceptional talent, the Austro-Bohemian composer Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) was director of the Budapest Opera for under three years. Grateful Hungarian supporters gave him a gold conductor's baton as a farewell gift in 1891. After Budapest, the composer took on various positions, from director of the Vienna Court Opera to conductor at the New York Metropolitan Opera. The now legendary 'curse of the ninth' is attributed to Mahler's superstitious belief that the ninth symphony is destined to be the composer's last, as in the case of Beethoven or Anton Bruckner. After writing his Symphony No. 8Mahler tried to trick fate by not numbering his next work, instead entitling it Das Lied von der Erde. Thinking he had beaten the curse, he then bravely composed his ninth symphony. This was to be Mahler's last completed symphony.
