Herbert Blomstedt in Copenhagen
Herbert Blomstedt, who turned 94 yesterday, conducts the Danish National Symphony Orchestra in Berwald's first and Schubert's last symphonies.
Herbert Blomstedt conducts Berwald and Schubert.
The legendary conductor, who turned 94 yesterday conducts music by two composers whose music is close to his heart.
Franz Berwald's hugely original symphony, given its disastrous premiere in 1842, is a work he has long championed whilst his performances of Schubert's 'Great' symphony go to the very heart of Schubert's creative genius. As Blomstedt says: "He composed as if he had some secret line to God himself.鈥�
