Renowned as one of the great Mahler interpreters of our age Bernard Haitink conducted a now-legendary Mahler cycle with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in the early 1990s. This DVD offers a powerful record of this memorable undertaking bringing together the composer's pastoral Fourth Symphony with the often enigmatic but ultimately joyous Seventh Symphony.
Set in Classical antiquity Mozart's Il re pastore tells of the thwarted love of Aminta (the innocent 'shepherd king' of the title) for the well-born Elisa and that of the nobleman Agenore for the deposed tyrant's daughter Tamiri. No less a figure than Alexander the Great resolves these conflicts of private passion and public status. First performed in Salzburg in 1775 Sir Neville Marriner conducts a top international cast including Sylvia McNair Jerry Hadley and Iris Vermillion in this 1989 staging from Salzburg's Landestheater.
Live concert from the Theatre Musical de Paris - Chatelet.
