BRUCKNER / SYMPHONY NO. 7 IN E MAJOR
“Haitink demands and earns our attention, measure by measure.”
—Chicago Sun-Times
The Chicago Tribune described the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra’s May 2007 performance of Bruckner’s
Symphony No. 7 as a “glowing and eloquent account.”
Now available to the world as the second release
from CSO Resound, this recording showcases the
remarkable chemistry between the CSO and Principal
Conductor Bernard Haitink, who perform with what
the Chicago Sun-Times calls “an almost extrasensory
connection.”
Rich in tradition and innovative in vision, the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra is a musical force in Chicago
and around the world. The CSO has produced one of
the most expansive discographies of any international
orchestra, with more than 900 recordings since 1916.
Recordings by the CSO have won 58 Grammy® Awards,
more than any other orchestra in the world. In 2007, the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra continued its celebrated
recording tradition by launching its new in-house
recording label, CSO Resound, with Mahler’s Third
Symphony conducted by Bernard Haitink.
CSO Resound features the sounds of the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra today, with new recordings
of thrilling live performances, featuring world-class
conductors and guest artists. The name, CSO
Resound, reflects the distinct and powerful sound
of the orchestra itself—an ensemble of musicians
renowned for its sonic brilliance—as well as
“re-sound,” as each recording will document and
extend the experience of a unique concert event.
