Bernard Haitink is internationally renowned for his interpretations of Bruckner and is widely recognised as the world’s leading Bruckner conductor.

Bruckner’s symphonies are often described as ‘Gothic cathedrals in sound,’ an apt description considering the composer’s devout faith and early vocation as an organist. He died before he could finish his Symphony No 9 but within its three movements can be found some of his most complete music, imbued with a sense of deep solace and resolution.

Performance: ***** Recording: *****
‘This performance from last year with the London Symphony Orchestra on stupendous form seems to mark a pitch of understanding and communication which it wouldn’t be possible to surpass.’

‘Haitink, as ever, maintains a magisterial grasp on the architectural span of Bruckner’s final ‘cathedral in sound.’ In his 85th year, he is the doyen of the world’s great Brucknerians. His latest interpretation of the Ninth is not to be missed.’

- The Sunday Times’ Album of the Week
“

'A ‘reference’ recording and performance of Bruckner’s unfinished 9th.'
