[[Riccardo Chailly]] made his debut with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in 1985, and was elected that year as their next chief conductor to succeed Haitink.<ref>{{cite news | author=John O'Mahony | title=Maestro in the fast lane | url=https://www.theguardian.com/saturday_review/story/0,,664200,00.html | work=The Guardian | date=9 March 2002 | access-date=19 August 2007}}</ref> As the first non-Dutchman to hold the post, Chailly served as chief conductor from 1988 to 2004. His recordings with the orchestra include complete Mahler and Brahms symphony cycles and several Bruckner symphonies.  With a conducting style described, in contrast to Haitink, as that of "a control freak and precision fanatic",<ref name="Koopman"/> Chailly was a strong advocate of modern music and recorded shorter works of Shostakovich, the complete ''Kammermusiken'' of [[Paul Hindemith]], and the orchestral works of [[Igor Stravinsky]], [[Olivier Messiaen]] and [[Edgard Varese]].  After his departure in 2004, Chailly was named Conductor Emeritus of the KCO.

[[Mariss Jansons]] made his KCO debut in 1988.  On 22 October 2002, the KCO elected Jansons as its next chief conductor.<ref>{{cite news | author=Martin Cullingford | title=Jansons confirmed as Royal Concertgebouw head | url=http://www.gramophone.co.uk/newsMainTemplate.asp?storyID=1472&newssectionID=1 | work=Gramophone | date=17 October 2002 | access-date=19 August 2007}}</ref>  His tenure officially began on 1 September 2004, with an initial contract of three years.
