BBC To Podcast Beethoven

Email This Entry

Posted by Alex Williams

Starting June 5, the BBC will offer all nine symphonies by Beethoven as podcasts. The effort is part of a larger celebration of Beethoven by the BBC. The symphonies are all performed by the BBC Philharmonic.

According to Digital Music News, the move is creating a stir in the orchestra community, which views the effort as major cannibalization threat. The tempest mirrors a similar storm in the recording industry, where in some quarters, barons of the recoding industry are shuffling and scurrying to cast doubts on the legality of podcasting, seeing it no more than a variation of illegal file sharing.

Digital Music News may be doing a Pew on this....

The BBC site only mentions downloads - no mention of podcasts.

I have an e-mail into the BBC press office to get a clarification. We'll see what they say. Indeed, it is not clear if it is a podcast or not. Thanks for the catch.
