I noticed more splendid audio files (MP3s) on Beethoven compositions, history, style & legacy -- this time broadcast in 2006 on WNYC in New York as part of the station's weeklong Beethoven Festival.
Beethoven 101:
http://www.wnyc.org/shows/eveningmus...des/2006/10/07
An introduction to Beethoven's legacy with the composer & conductor Rob Kapilow.
Beethoven As Visionary: Beethoven's String Theory:
http://www.wnyc.org/shows/eveningmus...des/2006/10/08
A discussion of the string quartets with the violinist Lawrence Dutton of the Emerson String Quartet.
The Spirit Is Willing: Beethoven's Voice:
http://www.wnyc.org/shows/eveningmus...des/2006/10/09
The Collegiate Chorale conductor Robert Bass delves into the development of Beethoven's songs & other vocal compositions, including the Leopold Cantata & the Missa Solemnis.
Beethoven's Laboratory: The Performer's Perspective:
http://www.wnyc.org/shows/eveningmus...des/2006/10/12
A discussion of the evolution of form & content in the 32 piano sonatas.
These MP3s are extremely large -- be warned if you're on dialup. But these programs are filled with excellent discussion & plenty of rare Beethoven compositions.
