Bernard Haitink shaped the London Philharmonic Orchestra as its principal conductor from 1967 to 1979 and was a regular guest at leading British opera houses such as Covent Garden and Glyndebourne during this period. His recordings with the London Philharmonic set new standards.
Haitsink's complete recordings for Decca and Philips across several editions are dedicated entirely to his London years in this latest box set of 31 CDs. The edition includes recordings from two decades, including recordings from his tenure as music director of the Royal Opera House.
Haitink's unmistakable signature – structural clarity and maximum transparency of sound design – is exemplified in a cycle of Beethoven symphonies, acclaimed recordings of Shostakovich symphonies, and Igor Stravinsky's three great ballets.
Supported by the excellent recording technology of the sound engineers at Philips and Decca, Haitink's music unfolds with extraordinary transparency, melodic stringency, and compelling inner logic. Far from any showmanship, this edition stands for musical authenticity, concentration, and deep devotion.
