Classical Discoveries - #04 Beethoven vs. Mahler - The Re-Orchestrations

The influence of Gustav Mahler on the performance practice of Beethoven's symphonies is explored in this episode. Mahler's "retouchings," undertaken to adapt Beethoven's works for the larger orchestras and concert halls of his time, are examined in detail. The discussion considers the implications of these revisions for modern interpretations of Beethoven's symphonic repertoire.
