A Secret Line from God, Schubert's 'Great' Symphony

Herbert Blomstedt conducts Schubert's Symphony in C, 'Great'. Before it, the revered 93-year-old is joined by 20-year-old violinist Johan Dalene for a concerto by Mozart.

The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra are conducted by the revered 93-year-old Herbert Blomstedt at Stockholm鈥檚 Berwaldhallen. Herbert Blomstedt, who made his debut in Stockholm in 1954, returned to the city at the end of November last year for a programme of Mozart and Schubert and, as a treat from the orchestra, a fanfare written as a to tribute to their much-loved former music director. For the Mozart, the orchestra was joined by its current artist in residence, the remarkable 20-year-old violinist, Johan Dalene - who is also a Radio 3 New Generation Artist. The programme ends with a masterful account of Schubert's 'Great' Symphony, composed, Blomstedt feels: 'as if he had some secret line to God himself.鈥
