In the 1990's, I was a student in the Bay Area. Mr. Blomstedt was the conductor of the San Fanciscon Symphony Orchestra. As the newspapers said, he raised the orchestra to a "world class orchestra". He gave a lecture on Bruchner's 4th Symphony. 25 years later I was fortunately enough to see him conduct the Vienna Philharmonic (bucket list). Thank you!

I’m going to see Blomstedt conduct the Philadelphia Orchestra through Bruckners 4th symphony tomorrow and I couldn’t be more excited than I am right now as I watch this! God bless this man for all he’s done and for still being so active at 95! I aspire to have a career like this guy!

A truly exceptional human being. No amount of AI can ever reproduce the greatness of what is this man.

A very nice film about a lovely musician working with an orchestra of extra-ordinary musical talent and greatness. I was born the same year Blomstedt first conducted the Oslo Phil! Best wishes from George [half-Norwegian living in UK].

With all respect to elder conductor's who passed away and for the living ones and for whom yet didn't come, no one like Herbert Blomstedt!

This short documentary of Blomstedt is a TREASURE! That half-hour went by really fast even for a non-musician like me. Thank you Oslo Philharmonic! I really enjoy the releases you have with him so far. Hoping to see the whole Symphony 5 in one video but if that isn't happening, I've already got the 4 movements in my playlist.

With genuine affection and respect, I hold Maestro Blomstedt's performances and recordings very dear. But, I feel compelled to not concur with his view on Beethoven/Mahler as presented in this video. Beethoven did indeed cry out from his heart, the anguish of his condition, with just the slow mvmt of the Hammerklavier alone. The soul of a completely fluent musical artist encased in an invisible shell of deafness. As for Mahler, he wasn't lamenting his own fate as much as he was subconsciously speaking out as a prophet for the fall of his culture, as a Viennese, and the overwhelming antisemitism that was violently on the rise. Without meaning to sound harsh, to perform their work in any other way is a grave shortcoming of the presentation.
