Celebrating Bernard Haitink: Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

Bernard Haitink conducts the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in 2011 in magisterial performances of Strauss's Alpine Symphony and Four Last Songs with soprano Anja Harteros.

In the first of six live concert archive recordings celebrating the great conductor who died in October, Bernard Haitink leads the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in an all-Strauss programme.

Bernard Haitink returned on Christmas Day in 2011 to the orchestra of which he was Chief Conductor for 27 years to give magisterial performances of two works dear to his heart.

At his death, the orchestra wrote: "Bernard Haitink鈥檚 relationship with the Concertgebouworkest spanned 65 years... Haitink embodied the most distinctive qualities of his three predecessors: Willem Kes鈥檚 discipline, Willem Mengelberg鈥檚 natural talent and Eduard van Beinum鈥檚 sense of ensemble playing and orchestral sound....We remember Bernard Haitink as a modest man and as a great musician."

Introduced by Fiona Talkington.
