Wiener Phil/Blomstedt - Herbert Blomstedt - Wiener Philharmoniker at Salzburg Festival

Now in his nineties, Herbert Blomstedt, former conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, is still a powerful interpreter of the symphonic repertoire. His programme with the Wiener Philharmoniker is straightforward: it begins with Honegger�s brilliant Third Symphony and ends with Brahms� Fourth. The eminent maestro, one of the orchestra�s favourites since his debut at the 2011 Salzburg Mozart Week, continues to enchant audiences with his enormous presence, verve and artistic drive. �A stirring, long-lasting listening experience. At the end, standing ovations and boundless cheers.� (br-klassik.de) �Fortunately, they still exist, the magical moments when time stands still, when music reaches and touches people.� (Die Presse)
