“It’s the sound that fascinates me. And the surprises.”

In April, Herbert Blomstedt, one of the world’s greatest legends on the classical stage, once again visited the Gothenburg Concert Hall. A performance met with intense love from both the audience and the orchestra.

Enjoy an interview where he talks to the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra’s CEO Anna-Karin Larsson about what makes Beethoven so special:

“It’s the sound that fascinates me. And the surprises. He’s a revolutionary when it comes to attracting attention,” he says of his big favorite.

Beethoven’s Second and Seventh Symphonies are now available with Herbert Blomstedt, on GSOplay.
