Description
Transcription as Translation, the latest release from The Orchestra Now and their founder-conductor Leon Botstein, brings together two rarely-heard orchestrations: Felix Weingartner’s of Beethoven’s “Hammerklavier” Piano Sonata, and George Szell’s of Smetana’s string quartet, “From My Life”. The latest innovative release from The Orchestra Now and their founder-conductor Leon Botstein evokes the age-old practice of transcribing music from one set of instruments or voices to another. Transcription as Translation brings together two rarely heard symphonic transcriptions by two major 20th-century conductors who were eager to perform from the podium some of their favourite non-orchestral works and present them to a wider audience.
