He is an honorary member of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna and received honorary degrees from the universities of Cambridge, Aberdeen and Ferrara.

On 22nd September 2018 the Staatskapelle Dresden celebrated its 470th jubilee. The orchestra was directed by Bernard Haitink from 2002 to 2004. (Haitink turns 90 in 2019.) Principal Conductor since the 2012/13 season has been Christian Thielemann. Founded by Prince Elector Moritz von Sachsen in 1548, it is one of the oldest orchestras in the world and steeped in tradition. Over its long history, many distinguished conductors and internationally celebrated instrumentalists have left their mark on this one-time court orchestra. Previous directors include Heinrich Schütz, Johann Adolf Hasse, Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner, who called the ensemble his “miraculous harp”. The list of prominent conductors of the last 100 years includes Ernst von Schuch, Fritz Reiner, Fritz Busch, Karl Böhm, Joseph Keilberth, Rudolf Kempe, Otmar Suitner, Kurt Sanderling, Herbert Blomstedt and Giuseppe Sinopoli.

Прикосновение вечности: «Никто не понимает мою злополучную Пятую симфонию», жаловался Малер после слабого приёма публикой первых исполнений этого произведения. Тем не менее, сегодня это его наиболее часто исполняемая симфония, отчасти благодаря мастерской экранизации Висконти романа Томаса Манна «Смерть в Венеции», где умирающий Густав фон Ашенбах блуждает по Венеции под восхитительное неземное напряжение адажиетто. Это стремление, часто рассматриваемое как признание любви к его жене Альме, стоит в центре грубого и надорванного мира "Пятой", образуя эфирное и вечное море спокойствия в симфонии, которая в целом отражает ментальную бездну его эмоционально мечущегося создателя. Произведение записал кёльнский Гюрцених-оркестр, под управлением американского дирижера Джеймса Конлона

Симфония № 5 до-диез минор — сочинение австрийского композитора Густава Малера, завершённое в 1902 году и впервые исполненное, под управлением автора, в 1904-м. Симфония имеет необычную структуру: фактически состоит из пяти частей, объединённых автором в три больших раздела, — и является одним из наиболее исполняемых сочинений Малера. Представляем запись симфонии в исполнении Симфонического оркестра Баварского радио под управлением знаменитого Российского дирижера Мариса Янсонса, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Mariss Jansons
