    Performance: ***** Sound: ***** 'A blazing performance of the Seventh Symphony that reaches a superbly disciplined and frenzied conclusion.'
    BBC Music Magazine

    'Surging rhythms that explore every conceivable movement are very much a feature of Bernard Haitink's fine new recording... Seventy-five minutes of exceptional music.'
    Mail on Sunday

    'The latest gem from LSO Live... this is a sensational coupling of masterworks.'
    The Times

    'Bernard Haitink delivers a splendid interpretation of Beethoven's Seventh: taut, exciting, always musical, and in no way inhibited... Haitink's concern for clean rhythmic articulation really pays off... the result is truly of the highest possible standard.'
    Classics Today

    '[Haitink] is a different, energised man, caught up in the thrill of the moment, on the podium - and it is our good fortune that these marvellous concerts will have an extended life on disc.'
    The Sunday Times

Bernard Haitink, London Symphony Orchestra


Beethoven was rarely explicit about any meaning behind his works. However it is impossible to listen to his Seventh Symphony without being captivated by a sense of euphoria, tainted only by what is possibly the most profound slow movement he was to write. Where the symphony is bold in its exuberance, the Triple Concerto is playful, providing its soloists with a glorious opportunity to flaunt their skills.
