Bruckner: Symphony No. 4
Herbert Blomstedt, who made his debut with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in 1953, came for a long-awaited visit as a guest conductor, bringing us Bruckner’s epic Symphony No.4, ‘Romantic’ in 2022– a grand piece of music that gushes forward like a roaring river.
A few years ago, Herbert Blomstedt was named the fourth most active conductor in the world, having conducted 71 concerts that year – nearly as many as Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who headed the list with 80 concerts. Blomstedt retains his inquisitiveness and lifelong love for the art of conducting, so any evening with him is unforgettable.
