Bernard Haitink has been a regular guest of the Berliner Philharmoniker for more than 50 years. In this programme, he conducts two of Beethoven’s most popular works. The Symphony No. 6 in F major, known as the ‘Pastoral’, and, before the interval, the Violin Concerto in D major. The soloist is the internationally renowned German violinist Isabelle Faust, whose sound was described by the New York Times as having “passion, grit and electricity but also a disarming warmth and sweetness that can unveil the music’s hidden strains of lyricism”. She made her debut as a soloist with the Berliner Philharmoniker in January 2009
