Beethoven Symphony No. 9 - Haitink - BSO Recorded Live
Bernard Haitink’s long and distinguished career intersected with the Boston Symphony Orchestra at various key moments, beginning in the 1970s and continuing well into the early 21st century. Though not a frequent guest in his early years, his visits to Boston, especially when programming Beethoven, were met with increasing reverence as his interpretive maturity deepened. Across multiple decades, Haitink offered the BSO’s audiences a Beethoven that evolved not through flash or reinvention, but through deepened insight, formal clarity, and expressive restraint.
