Interview
Herbert Blomstedt on Hindemith’s “Nobilissima visione” and Bruckner’s Mass in F minor Herbert Blomstedt conducts Bruckner and Hindemith
Herbert Blomstedt presents works that evoke a distant past with a full, late Romantic sound. In his Mass in F minor, for example, Anton Bruckner provides a powerful reinterpretation of liturgical choral music. Paul Hindemith’s Nobilissima vision on the other hand, tells both sensuously and in strictly archaic style of the life of St Francis – “magical music”, that “dreams itself far away from reality” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung).
