Mozart: Symphony No. 35 Haffner | Bernard Haitink and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

Multi-award-winning conductor Bernard Haitink leads the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. They perform Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Haffner Symphony.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed the Symphony No. 35 in D major, K. 385, known as the Haffner Symphony, in 1782. As early as 1776 he had been commissioned to compose a serenade for the wedding of the Salzburg bridal couple Franz Xaver Späth and Maria Elisabeth Haffner, the daughter of Salzburg's mayor Sigmund Haffner. The Haffner Serenade is Mozart's most extensive serenade (KV 250) and has eight movements.
Six years later, he was to compose another serenade on the occasion of the award of the title of nobility "Edler von Innbachhausen" to Sigmund Haffner Junior. Mozart arranged it as a symphony by omitting the movements 2 to 4 or 5 of the serenade composed for Haffner's wedding, thus creating an independent work.
Bernard Haitink began his conducting career with Netherlands Radio: he became chief conductor of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic in 1957. Later he was principal conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and held this position for 27 years. Today he is patron of the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and Honorary Conductor of the Concertgebouw Orchestra.
Bernard Haitink has also been Music Director of the Glyndebourne Festival and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and Chief Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Staatskapelle Dresden and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He is an honorary member of the Berlin Philharmonic, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and since 2019, the Vienna Philharmonic. He has received numerous prizes and awards, including the Gramophone Lifetime Achievement Award.

Oh how jolly good it all was in the 18th century! C'mon how much disney flicks did you watch blind of criticism? I'm mostly happy with our time, actually I'm not, our time is as rubbish as any other one, but it definetely has its pros that we can listen to so many great music when we want, not just KZbin, also CDs, you are being blindly nostalgic I think. It probably would have been interesting to meet a character like WAM, but I am more than happy to also know the music of romantic, impressionist, expressionist, modern composers and also some rock and jazz and else great music.

RIP Bernard Haitink 1929-2021 It's not that I'm shocked - he lived 92 years in this life. I'm very saddened to hear of his passing though. Haitink was one of the greatest conductors of our age and a true ambassador of his art. Humble and faithful to the music in every situation, his sober and revealing visions of such a wide range of repertoire has left us with a rich recorded legacy of some of the greatest reference recordings, made with the greatest orcheatras in the world. And that's without even touching on his eminently distinguished career with the great Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam. Since the very beginning of my journey with orchestral music, my record collection has gotten steadily more littered with Haitink readings. Despite his notable absence of flamboyance or histrionics - dare I say ego, even - with Haitink, you can safely go for absolutely ANY of his recordings, without ANY hesitation or need for prior research or reviews, and rest assured in the knowledge that you'll ALWAYS be presented with an outstanding, emotionally intelligent and profound rendition of whatever that piece may be. There's not many conductors in that bracket. I was just lucky enough to catch Haitink live a couple of times, including a stunning Bruckner 6th symphony with the Dresden Staatskapelle. I'm very sad to hear he has left us.

I was captured by the Haffner Symphony when I was around 12 or 13 in about 1957 and I especially remember being completely enthralled listening for the first time to an LP sent to our house that was sent in the post by the World Record Club of the London Philharmonic Orchestra playing Mozart, conducted by Erich Leinsdorf. Each month I was always excited to receive the next classical offering. As a result, I became totally hooked on Classical music that has remained with me all my life. I went on to learn to play the piano (badly), but always derived great pleasure and solace from classical music. I’ve always been very grateful to my mother who subscribed our family to the World Record Club that first introduced me to the wonderful world of Classical music.

What a lukewarm applause after such a lively & spirited finale. As if the listeners were waking-up from a comatose slumber. Conventional, bourgeois audience, spoiled and not knowing what they are hearing. This symphony is a masterpiece and the performance is ideal, quite an achievement with a modern orchestra: well-balanced, combining elegance with utter expressiveness, Haitink at his best.

Just one moment of his greatness as a World leading conductor, is illustrated here at 09:12 as Bernard Haitink patiently suspends the performance 🎭 between movements to allow some annoying member of the audience to take control their irritating need to cough. Clearly disturbed, but not showing it, he waits, poised until silence is restored to the auditorium and only then does he allow the beauty of Mozart’s magic to resume for the rest of the audience to enjoy.

Das Orchester und der Dirigent meistert diese wahrlich nicht einfache Symphonie von Mozart bravourös. Schon hier ist der unglaubliche schöne Einfallsreichtum Mozarts klanglich spürbar. Schnelle Tempowechsel und langgezogene anmutige Seufzerfiguren in den Klarinetten und Oboen. Dynamische Tempowechsel die plötzlich durch die Posaunen und Trompeten angekündigt werden sorgen für Spannung und Dynamik, man meint fast den genialen Opernkomponisten vor sich zu haben.
