Celebrating Bernard Haitink: Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra

Recorded live in concert in 1997, Bernard Haitink conducts the Berlin Philharmonic in Schubert's Third Symphony and Shostakovich's epic Fourth Symphony.

Tonight, recorded live in concert in 1997 at the Philharmonie, Berlin, the great Dutch conductor leads the Berlin Philharmonic in symphonies by two composers close to his heart. Like Mahler, the symphonies of Shostakovich were a mainstay of Haitink's repertoire and his performance of the epic Fourth was an unforgettable experience. The concert begins with the symphonic polar opposite of the Shostakovich, the charming and elegant Third Symphony of Schubert.
