Bernard Haitink conductor


Bruckner Symphony no 8


“In a fortnight that has brought five-star performances to London by Maurizio Pollini, and Yannick Nézet-Séguin, let alone the sumptuous Rolls-Royce of orchestras for those lucky enough to be at Berliner Philharmoniker’s residency, perhaps the most mind-blowing concert of them all was this one at the Royal College of Music." – Classical Source on Bernard Haitink and the RCM Symphony Orchestra
Offering up a compelling blend of experience, youth, and all-round world-class music-making, Bernard Haitink’s concerts with the RCM Symphony Orchestra have become must-see events in the London concert calendar.

Haitink has long been acclaimed as one of the great Bruckner interpreters, and this concert offers a particular treat in the shape of Bruckner’s monumental and sublime Symphony no 8, described by Hugo Wolf after its premiere as “a complete victory of the light over darkness”.
