a year ago

Herbert Blomstedt, a 98-year-old conductor born in Massachusetts and raised in Sweden, is one of the oldest active conductors today. Throughout his career, he has led numerous prestigious orchestras in Northern Europe and Germany, including the Dresden Staatskapelle and San Francisco Symphony. Known for his dedication to music rather than fame, Blomstedt continues to work vigorously, even having released a complete set of Bruckner symphonies last year. He believes great music stimulates both intellect and emotion equally.
