No more Bruckner under Haitink, thats a cut in the history of interpretation Wiener Zeitung To end his active conducting career after 65 years, maestro Bernard Haitink together with the Vienna Philharmonic gives a farewell concert at the Großes Festspielhaus at Salzburg Festival, leaving no doubt of being one of the best Bruckner interpreters ever. The Dutch conductor, who was appointed honorary member of the Vienna Philharmonic shortly before the concert, is joined by star pianist Emanuel Ax in Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4: a musical interaction of a depth of sentiment and an agreement in making music together that sounds wonderfully natural (Salzburger Nachrichten). The concert ends with Bruckner's monumental Symphony No. 7 with its famous second movement, which marked the composer's breakthrough and remains one of his most popular symphonies.
