Herbert Blomstedt on Beethoven and Nielsen Herbert Blomstedt conducts Beethoven and Nielsen
In May 2013, Herbert Blomstedt presented a programme full of spring-like freshness at the Philharmonie: Ludwig van Beethoven is rarely as relaxed and cheerful as he comes across in his Fourth Symphony, and in Carl Nielsen’s Fifth which brings the concert to a close, we hear a wonderful blend of Scandinavian flair and his innovative, individual sound.
