Vintage Haitink at the Proms

[early grey]

Admirers of Bernard Haitink's conducting may already have enjoyed Mahler's Symphony No.9 with the Concertgebouw from a Promenade Concert in London's Royal Albert Hall which is to be found on my website and now two more selections are available namely
Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.6 with the same orchestra and Mahler's Symphony No.2 ,"The Resurrection" from the London Philharmonic Orchestra
with the BBC Men's Chorus, BBC Choral Society, London Philharmonic Choir and soloists: Margaret Price (soprano) and Norma Procter (contralto). The Tchaikovsky was the last item in the concert and is followed by an encore to general merriment. I did not know Mahler2 so I have no point of comparison as to quality but it seems pretty good to me. There is more harmonic invention than I find in the symphonies I know better 1,4,5 and 9.  You will find these three selections and much, much more at
