The Mahler Hour - Mahler on Historical Instruments

[@barryguerrero6480]

The whole F trumpet issue is really interesting. There's a lot of debate over Mahler's possible use of them. Moving over to Wiener F horns, the famous Roland Berger (Vienna Philharmonic) had a whole bunch of older and slightly different Wiener horns, and all they played differently. He would switch between them, depending on just exactly what he was going to be playing. Bernstein learned this when he went to visit Roland Berger one day. Berger is actually credited with saving the use of the Wiener F-horn in the Vienna Phil. The question of authentic trombone is even more tricky. Makers are just beginning to do the necessary 'archeological digging work' on Austro/German trombones of that period. Jay Friedman in Chicago has taken interest in this.

And I really hope that you will have in Amsterdam a “meet the artists” or an introductory talk.

Great interview. Looking forward to attending your concert in Amsterdam on September 12.
