	Gustav Mahler, Symphony No. 3, Berliner Philharmoniker, Bernard Haitink, Barbican, 27th September 2004 (MB) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Bernard Haitink’s London Mahler journey has taken us from the finality and resignation of Mahler’s Ninth (with the Wiener Philharmoniker), through to the personal tragedy of the Sixth (with the London Symphony Orchestra) and on to the Pantheism of the Third, in this concert, with the Berliner Philharmoniker.
		Haitink has long revelled in the controlled power of performance, where decibels count for something, but it is questionable that he gets the same results from different orchestras.
		In contrast to the opening of the symphony, where Haitink had underplayed the grandeur of the epic that is about to begin, here the conductor seemed intent on unleashing the orchestra’s reins, just as Mahler himself had restored the balance of the orchestra to the movement itself.

	Revisiting Shostakovich's 8th Symphony: LSO, Bernard Haitink, Barbican 22 June 2000 (MB) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		It is extremely rare to be able to revisit a concert performance of one of the great twentieth century symphonies by the same conductor and orchestra on consecutive nights, and perhaps rarer for a critic to seek to reassess his initial views of the interpretation.
		Bernard Haitink's performance of Shostakovich's most tragic symphony had left me largely unmoved on Wednesday evening, so much so that I questioned more closely than in any other concert I have been to whether my initial impression had been the correct one.
		Haitink's LSO simply did not convey the menacing undertones of this work, the playing too refined for the apocalyptic vision Shostakovich surely had in mind.

	Bernard Haitink's Brahms On LSO Live Review By Max Westler
		In Europe, Great Britain especially, Haitink is regarded as a great conductor, perhaps the greatest since the passing of Karajan; and he can pick and choose from among the most desirable conducting assignments.
		I'm sure Haitink would claim that he is just letting the music speak for itself, but often I sense a reticence in his work--an unwillingness to engage the score on an emotional level, to seize on its dramatic possibilities.
		Haitink's Brahms Second is something else again, and one of the more deeply personal performances I've ever heard from him.

		At a breathtaking speed during the first movement Haitink sets up the luminosity of this work’s bleak tension so by the final movement the catastrophe and darkness are nakedly realised.
		There is, in the last movement, enough tragedy presented to us for Haitink to ignore the third hammer blow: in few performances has the shadow of tragedy so tellingly hung over this work that the third hammer stroke becomes an irrelevance.
		Coming as they do after moments of optimism in the music Haitink’s way is to dramatise their significance within the context of a larger picture.

		Haitink's performance of the Symphony No 8 was monumental, trenchant, a touch dogged - like a great army edging forward against the fearsome headwinds of a Russian winter.
		Haitink inculcated into the third movement an element of breathless panic in the repetitive motion in the violas, whereas Rostropovich had seemingly put the same passage on cruise control, after having italicized so much else and excessively at times elsewhere.
		Haitink's great interpretation of this massive work was all but ruined by the persitent coughers in the audience.

		Bernard Haitink leads with clarity and warmth, but the lucidity and understanding Mackerras brings to the score are missing.
		Haitink does invest much in the specifics of the score, rather than merely revelling in the powerful pace of Janacek's drama, and this is no bad thing.
		It is due to the reticence of the conductor, Bernard Haitink, to come to grips with the essential nature of the ostinatos rhythms underlying the score.

		The public did not realize that this was Haitink's final performance with the title of principal guest conductor under his current contract, but Levine did.
		Haitink will not be with the BSO next year, in Levine's inaugural season as music director, because at 74, with a history of health problems, he prefers to consolidate his travel and make only one trip to America each year.
		Levine's mission, according to BSO managing director Mark Volpe, was to urge Haitink to continue with the title and to return as often as possible -- and to assure him that the new regime would do everything possible to accommodate his choice of repertoire.

	Bernard Haitink & LSO - Brahms Symphony No 2 Double Concerto
		Bernard Haitink is no stranger to this work, having recorded it with the Concertgebouw Orchestra previously, and he gives a taut, lithe reading which may be a bit too cutting for seasoned Brahms listeners, but carries with it the excitement of a live performance given last May in the Barbican.
		As the booklet observes, the second is Brahms's most upbeat symphony, perhaps his 'Pastoral', and that comes across here, although Haitink remains keen to stress the light and shade.
		The Double Concerto is probably the least performed of Brahms's orchestral works, for several reasons - the technical demands on the violin and cello soloists, the problem of balance between these two and the orchestra, and the chamber-like sensibilities that at times seem to hark back to the early Brahms String Sextets.

		Haitink's interpretation of Vaughan Williams' 8th Symphony is a bit darker than I expected; this is a brooding, very dramatic performance of this symphony.
		Haitink's Ninth is somewhat more conventional than the Eighth--the brooding and foreboding which permeates the earlier work is somewhat missing here.
		Haitink and the London Philharmonic present a digital era 8th which can stand shoulder to shoulder with Slatkins on RCA or maybe Davis on Teldec, but the chestnut on this disk is the 9th.
