NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Herbert Blomstedt

Brilliant minds

»No other composer has succeeded in filling the music with meaning and ceaseless beauty in this way« – Herbert Blomstedt on Anton Bruckner. And his numerous admirers say the same about Blomstedt, who has, for over 60 years, been filling the world’s concert halls with his humble interpretations, his unpretentious personality and his insatiable need to communicate music. The 94-year-old conductor’s phenomenal experience in all things Bruckner has resulted in numerous CD recordings with various orchestras, as well as in many Bruckner performances with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra – most recently for a performance of the Sixth Symphony in autumn 2019.
