The doyen of European conductors presents
favourite repertoire with an ensemble closely
associated with the history and traditions
of orchestral music. The last of Haydn’s
symphonies, written while he was living
in London, proved an instant critical and
commercial success. Not so the Strauss,
part-elegy for Mahler, part-celebration of the
composer himself. Mingling childhood memories
of a schoolboy mountaineering expedition with
a deeper vision of man’s place on earth, the
work was received rather sniffily in Britain until
dedicated
interpreters such
as Bernard Haitink
arrived to change
all that.
