    Haitink and the Concertgebouw's 1970 Mahler 9 at the Proms..almost!

    Haitink's recording of Mahler's 9th Symphony with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in 1970 won many admirers. His Prom performance with them that same year is the latest addition to my website
    www.cliveheathmusic.co.uk.
    together with the Busch Quartet's "Death and the Maiden" recording from the thirties. Be warned, the start of the Mahler is missing and the third movement has 30 seconds or so of damaged sounds. Apart from that you have the rest of the symphony in reasonable nick. The audience here are remarkably restrained in their initial applause. Quite why defeats me. (p.s. If I knew how to delete my previous thread, I would)
