Presto Music Classical Podcast, Episode 13: Symphonic Titans - Bruckner & Mahler with Peter Quantrill

Bruckner and Mahler, those behemoths of the Romantic symphony, have recently enjoyed lavish box-sets of their complete cycles, with the Münchner Philharmoniker and Valery Gergiev tackling Bruckner, and eight conductors with the Berliner Philharmoniker for Mahler. Peter Quantrill, who reviewed both of these sets in latest edition of Gramophone, joins me this week to assess the relationship between these composers, as well as bringing his perspective on how performance practices - and his own personal relationship to these composers - have changed over the years.
