Visiting the UK: Chamber Orchestra of Europe
Bernard Haitink conducts the Chamber Orchestra of Europe in works by Schumann, Berg and Beethoven, with violinist Isabelle Faust.
Ian Skelly introduces a concert recorded live and first broadcast in June 2014 and presented on the night from London's Barbican Hall by Martin Handley.
Bernard Haitink conducts the Chamber Orchestra of Europe in music by Schumann and Beethoven, and are joined by the violinist Isabelle Faust in Berg's austere but beautiful violin concerto, a work with which she is particularly associated.
The concert begins with Schumann's heart-on-sleeve romanticism of his tribute to Byron, the Overture to Manfred, and the concert ends with the sunny radiance of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony, the 'Pastoral'.
Given as part of Haitink's 85th birthday celebrations, a critic wrote that this concert 'was a rich and glowing embodiment of Haitink's enduring mature mastery'.
