About

According to the Chicago Tribune, Bernard Haitink's Mahler 6 "felt so right [with its] accumulation of massive physical power, the feverish build-up of heroic optimism and its crushing defeat with each fatalistic blow, [and] the magnificent intensity of the CSO's playing." The Chicago Sun-Times noted, "When have the two trios of the blazing Scherzo movement sounded so gentle, like lullabies? When has the Andante felt so personal?"

With an international conducting career that has spanned more than five decades, Amsterdam-born Bernard Haitink is one of today's most celebrated conductors. Appointed Principal Conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra from the beginning of the 2006-7 season, he has led many of the world's major orchestras, including more than 25 years at the helm of the Royal Concertgebouw as its music director.

Rich in tradition and innovative in vision, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is a musical force in Chicago and around the world. The CSO has produced one of the most expansive discographies of any international orchestra, with more than 900 recordings since 1916. Recordings by the CSO have won 58 Grammy® Awards, more than any other orchestra in the world. In 2007, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra continued its celebrated recording tradition by launching its new in-house recording label, CSO Resound.

Recorded live in Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center in Chicago on October 18, 19, 20, and 23, 2007.
