RIP Bernard Haitink 1929-2021 It's not that I'm shocked - he lived 92 years in this life. I'm very saddened to hear of his passing though. Haitink was one of the greatest conductors of our age and a true ambassador of his art. Humble and faithful to the music in every situation, his sober and revealing visions of such a wide range of repertoire has left us with a rich recorded legacy of some of the greatest reference recordings, made with the greatest orcheatras in the world. And that's without even touching on his eminently distinguished career with the great Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam. Since the very beginning of my journey with orchestral music, my record collection has gotten steadily more littered with Haitink readings. Despite his notable absence of flamboyance or histrionics - dare I say ego, even - with Haitink, you can safely go for absolutely ANY of his recordings, without ANY hesitation or need for prior research or reviews, and rest assured in the knowledge that you'll ALWAYS be presented with an outstanding, emotionally intelligent and profound rendition of whatever that piece may be. There's not many conductors in that bracket. I was just lucky enough to catch Haitink live a couple of times, including a stunning Bruckner 6th symphony with the Dresden Staatskapelle. I'm very sad to hear he has left us.
Gran pena por la pérdida de uno de los grandes Maestros y todo un gran caballero. Gracias por las muchas horas maravillosas que nos hizo pasar. Mi sentido pésame a su familia. Q.E.P.D. Maestro.
Wat een wonderlijke opmerking toch: "Ik keek naar de dame naast mij en die zat te huilen bij Erbarme Dich en dacht: 'Kan muziek dat doen?'" Haitink heeft een derde nodig om dat te beseffen of onder woorden te brengen wat hij als dirigent zelf evoceert.
45:40 The interviewer was spot on with an "Abschiedskonzert" in 20 years - that happened exactly in 2019. Haitink himself was almost right: He mentioned to conduct (a.o.) Bruckner 8th, it was Bruckner 7th in the end.
Ik heb in het archief van het Concertgebouworkest gezocht, in 1953 was er geen uitvoering maar in 1952 is het een aantal keren met Byron Janis uitgevoerd, hij lijkt er wel op, volgens mij.

Vaarwel Bernard Haitink.

Hij was toen 9 of 10 jaar
Heel veel dank! Mooie documentaire.

Weet iemand wie de pianist is in het eerste tchaikovsky onder van Beinum?
Probably Byron Janis.
Zou u denken? Wat interessant!
Ik heb in het archief van het Concertgebouworkest gezocht, in 1953 was er geen uitvoering maar in 1952 is het een aantal keren met Byron Janis uitgevoerd, hij lijkt er wel op, volgens mij.
Zeer aannemelijk dus. Mysterie opgelost! Dank!
Byron Janis toendertijd wereldberoemd. Vele goede opnamen op RCA en Mercury....
