An expert interpreter of Mahler’s symphonies, Bernard Haitink leads the triumphant First Symphony — the work that introduced Mahler’s staggering talent to the public. According to the Chicago Tribune, “Haitink’s reading was warmly expansive and beautifully played.” The Chicago Sun-Times noted, “Haitink and the CSO demonstrated confidence, vigor and ease . . . and brought the capacity crowd to its feet for a five-minute series of ovations.”
