Herbert Blomstedt on Sibelius’s Fourth and Brahms’s Third Symphony
Herbert Blomstedt conducts Sibelius and Brahms
“Conducting is a good profession to grow old in, because it’s always a challenge, and you need challenges when you get older”, said Herbert Blomstedt, born in 1927, who is continuing his long-standing collaboration with the Berliner Philharmoniker with undiminished energy and vitality. On this programme Sibelius’s dark, mist-shrouded Fourth Symphony is contrasted with Brahms’s Third.
