Mahler was more famous in his lifetime as a conductor than as a composer and today's programme, presented by Louise Fryer, includes two works by Beethoven, played in Mahler's own performing versions. The first is an 'amplified' string quartet and the programme ends with Mahler's re-orchestration of the choral 9th symphony. The programme also includes two colourful scores, both of which Mahler conducted several times.
