This week, Haitink's recording highlights include Vaughan Williams's Symphony No 5 with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Ravel's Bolero with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the conclusion of Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier with the Royal Concertgebouw and Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.5 'Emperor', with the soloist Murray Perahia.
