Podcast #04: BEETHOVEN vs. MAHLER - The Re-Orchestrations #podcast #capricciorecords

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