Blomstedt Conducts Beethoven 7

Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony is treasured by generations of music fans for its whirling dance rhythms and majestic Allegretto movement. It is a calling card for conductor Herbert Blomstedt, whose Beethoven recordings “remain beacons of good taste, with a distinctive spiritual power shining through the music” (The New York Times). Composed in his youth, Schubert’s exuberant Sixth Symphony draws inspiration from Beethoven.
