Beethoven and Bärenreiter – a marriage made in heaven!  It all started in 1996 with Symphony No. 9: Jonathan Del Mar’s groundbreaking edition of this masterpiece marked the beginning of his new edition of the complete nine symphonies.  The editorial process was a huge undertaking because of the complex source situation regarding Beethoven's Symphonies culminating in the Choral Symphony which came down to us in nearly 20 different sources.  So it was not surprising that Bärenreiter's new Urtext edition caused a considerable stir in the music world.  They became a huge success and have been used by countless orchestras all over the world.

In the run-up to the Beethoven Year 2020, Del Mar has returned to the sources 20 years later and scrutinised them afresh.  The results: the musical text has withstood the test of time.  Our new edition now has an optimised layout and an additional Introduction by Barry Cooper.  Rounding off this beautiful linen-bound volume are several pages reproduced in facsimile.
