Watch an excerpt of Bernard Haitink conducting the powerful orchestral opening of the Maestoso from Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra as we mark the 5th anniversary of the renowned Maestro's passing on 21 October 2021.
The full performance was recorded at Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw in 1973, starring the legendary pianist Artur Rubinstein as soloist.

Artur Rubinstein has occasionally referred to Johannes Brahms as his favourite composer. Rubinstein had first-hand familiarity with his music, having been sponsored since the age of 10 by Joseph Joachim, Brahms' close friend and artistic partner. It seems equally astonishing that the pianist, who learned the D Minor Piano Concerto in his teens, still masters it at the age of 81. Rubinstein interprets the work, fascinating in its emotional force and symphonic design, in this recording from 1973 with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and its then chief conductor Bernard Haitink.
