The concerts given by Bernard Haitink in his capacity as honorary conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra are considered high points of the Amsterdam concert season. In March 2010, Haitink made a guest appearance with the orchestra to conduct Shostakovich s Fifteenth Symphony. That concert performance is presented here on RCO Live in Super Audio CD format for the pleasure of music lovers everywhere. Haitink s Shostakovich cycle from the 1970s has long been acclaimed as one of the finest made, and this new version will only add to the conductor s reputation as a specialist in this repertoire.
