Broadcasts
Broadcast on BBC TWO
The second of Bernard Haitink's two concerts with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra features Debussy and Wagner, two key figures of musical progressivism. Debussy declared Parsifal 'one of the finest monuments of sound that has been raised to the imperturbable glory of music'. But while Debussy explored the sensual and the immediate, Wagner pursued the philosophical and eternal, as in the Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde, in which Isolde sings over Tristan's lifeless body as she prepares to 'follow him into the Land of Night'.
