Penny Gore presents a week of top concerts from the Concertgebouw' - the Amsterdam concert hall with a famously beautiful acoustic, and home to one of the world's great orchestras. Today the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra play Bruckner's Seventh Symphony under the baton of a man who first conducted them 55 years ago and was their Chief Conductor for a quarter of a century - Bernard Haitink, their current Conductor Emeritus.
