Bernard Haitink in conversation with Peter Brem
Bernard Haitink conducts Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4
On 12 March 1964, Bernard Haitink made his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker. Works by Anton Bruckner were on the programme of many of his unforgettable concerts with the orchestra, so it was only natural for Haitink to celebrate his 50th Philharmoniker anniversary with a performance of Bruckner's Romantic symphony. The soloist in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 9 is also a long-time associate of Haitink, Emanuel Ax.
