Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Bernard Haitink

Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) Symphony No. 1

An expert interpreter of Mahler’s symphonies, CSO Principal Conductor 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, vigour and ease…and brought the capacity crowd to its feet for a five-minute series of ovations.” A musical force in Chicago and around the world, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the finest international orchestras.
