In his first season as principal conductor, Bernard Haitink led the Orchestra in Bruckner’s Seventh Symphony, which became the second release on the new CSO Resound label. Eighth music director Sir Georg Solti bookends the symphony with Wagner’s Overture to Tannhäuser and the Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan and Isolde.
