Gewandhausorchester, Herbert Blomstedt Dirigent

Thu, Apr 3, 2025, 19:30
Gewandhaus Leipzig, Großer Saal (Leipzig)
Gewandhausorchester (Orchestra), Herbert Blomstedt (Conductor)
If the Gewandhaus Orchestra could only perform one work, it would be Bruckner's Seventh Symphony. This piece, premiered by the orchestra, is uniquely tied to its history and represents the deepest emotions. Conductor Herbert Blomstedt receives standing ovations upon entering the stage, and the hall's structural integrity is tested after every performance. The symphony's climax features a powerful cymbal crash in the Adagio, a controversial addition potentially attributed to the first conductor, Arthur Nikisch, and now accepted in the latest edition.

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Regula Mühlemann / Herbert Blomstedt

Thu, Jun 12, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Regula Mühlemann (Soprano), Herbert Blomstedt (Conductor)
He is by far the longest-serving active conductor in the world, but Herbert Blomstedt is not interested in such records: rediscovering the scores of the great composers again and again, sharpening the senses for this art and allowing everyone to share in the joy of making music – that’s what counts! Herbert Blomstedt turns 98 years old in July 2025. And since his time as chief conductor of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, he has regularly returned to the podium of the Hamburg ensemble, accompanied by storms of applause from his audiences. After having to cancel once last season for health reasons, everyone is now eagerly awaiting Blemstedt’s next appearance.
