80 years old maestro still live and kicking!
Today Bernard Haitink turns 80. Although the Dutch maestro hates birthdays he was more than willing to conduct a tribute series (Beethoven and Bruckner) with his beloved Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. The Netherlands honor their greatest of all musicians with a series of concerts, 5 consecutive concert nights on Dutch television, free downloads offered by Radio 4 and much more. And not to forget. Last week you, the readers of this blog, chose Haitink as their favorite conductor.
For sure, Bernard Haitink will be exhausted when he returns to the Chicago Symphony in April!
