Description

A live recording from 2019 of Bruckner's 7th Symphony with Bernard Haitink conducting the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra.

Bernard Haitink was born and educated in Amsterdam. His conducting career began at the Netherlands Radio where in 1957 he became the Chief Conductor of the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra. The links between Bernard Haitink and the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra have withstood the test of time, even when his career was taking him all over the world. One fine example of this was Berlioz's Damnation of Faust in 1998, later issued on CD (CC 72517). He returned on 15 June 2019, when he gave his very last concert in Amsterdam, with Bruckner Symphony no. 7, a work that has always been especially dear to him.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

"In this work he draws on his long experience, and this is expressed in an interpretation that shows his sense of tonal balance and his flair for transparency.
Suppleness and lyricism characterize this very fine version of the symphony." â€“ Pizzicato

Description
Bernard Haitink's farewell concert to Amsterdam and the Netherlands, dated June 2019 where he conducted one of his most beloved works, Bruckner's Seventh Symphony. This is an outstanding account in compelling sound, further enhanced by the 180 grams double-vinyl format.
