No question Gustav Mahler brought the Hamburg opera house to world fame and London should not have surprised poor, as the Hamburg Kapellmeister in 1892 has performed there and to me nothing you could not perform include the whole ring. But perfection is often not all equally loved. The least of which, they run the must be: the orchestra. And it was some of his musicians also get rid of quickly, as he liked. In 1895 he had even less than a year previously adopted for conducting the Hamburg subscription concerts due to disputes with the orchestra to give up again and after his performances in the opera house he was often accompanied by a police escort home.
PS: his exclamation: "At last, fortissimo" in view of Niagara Falls is expected to give an indication that his ideas of how things should sound, were not always easy to achieve ..... ;)
