CD Reviews

Beethoven as seen by Mahler

D. Steve Bottorff | S. Euclid, OH USA | 08/05/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The Fifth on this disk is the arrangement by Gustav Mahler. AFAIK there is no other recording of it. Mahler "retouched" the score to bring out subtle parts that he felt had been lost in the change from the small orchestra and audience of Beethoven's day to the larger orchestra and listening space of Mahler's time (and today). Basically Mahler doubled the woodwinds and horns, and changed a number of dynamic markings. I have not heard this CD yet, but heard this arrangement played by the Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom Music Center, a venue of 10,000. Mahler's arrangement certainly does bring out some parts that you cannot hear in the original, but a few parts, especially the piccolo runs and trills, are changed from subtle to over-the-top. Shades of J. P. Sousa. An interesting musical study."
