Haitink: The Philips Years [20 CD]

Haitink was an exclusive Philips artist for more than 30 years and in addition to his work with the Concertgebouw Orchestra he worked extensively with many other orchestras and held appointments with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Haitinks Philips discography is rooted firmly in the 19th and early 20th century symphonic repertory and his cycles of Mahler and Bruckner have achieved reference status.

The set includes several recordings which appear as international CD releases for the first time (symphonies by Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert) as well as first CD releases of works by Hendrik Andriessen and Stravinsky. Several other recordings have been unavailable for a number of years and are included here.
