Over the past few weeks I've been listening to re-creations of programmes given in the 1990s of Simon Rattle's project Towards the Millennium and I've been posting details on 'The Rest is Noise' thread as it is a journey through the music of the 20th century. However, there's been a request for the posts to be on this thread as well so I will continue by posting on both threads. Previous programmes can be found here http://www.for3.org/forums/showthrea...s-music/page51 from post 1006 onwards.

Bernard Haitink
Given in Symphony Hall, Boston, on March 18 2017 http://www.wgbh.org/programs/The-Bos...ert-1641#67783
This is a wonderful concert and the 87 year old Haitink provides one of the fastest accounts of the Beethoven 7 finale I've ever heard. The engineering is excellent, with a highly realistic concert hall sound. Strongly recommended."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard Haitink
