I have looked for his coming events 2023. Unfortunately I find for example these words: "Unfortunately there are no concert dates for Herbert Blomstedt scheduled in 2023." So perpahs his long music journey is near the end. I wish him a good life at home with lots of music and memories!
Yesterday,February 12,2023 my wife Julie and I experienced the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra,conducted by 95 year old maestro HERBERT BLOMSTEDT.Magnificent.There were members in the orchestra who were yet to be born when he began his ten year tenure here in 1984.God bless you Maestro Blomstedt!!!!
Thank you!! Lovely to hear that he is still conducting. I, as a swede, thought that he had completed his long journey with music. At 95 one has the right to do so. But he is still going on, as you tell us. Wonderful!
@@staffanolofsson8201 You are welcome! It was quite wonderful.He is conducting seated on a piano bench,but no matter.Magnificent and really very emotional.Hard to say who was the most delighted...the audience,the orchestra,or Maestro Blomstedt! Greetings from San Francsco...we pray he can return next season. Brian
I lived in San Francisco during his tenure and I will never forget the Maestro’s interpretation of Bruckner, Dvorak, Sibelius, Brahms, Mendelssohn and Beethoven.
As a swede I have always admired Herbert Blomstedt. His conducting in this Beethoven is a show in itself, even if he is not aware of it. He only follows his intentions of how this music shall be played, he has no intention at all to take some place in advantage of the music he conducts, he is only a humble servant of this music. It is all in his head, and therefore no sheet music for him.
Herbert Blomstedt ist ohne jeden Zweifel ein viel viel besserer Musiker als ich; dennoch habe auch ich diese Symphonie Note für Note, Instrument für Instrument im Kopf. Ich kann auch längst nicht so gut dirigieren wie Blomstedt, aber eine Partitur bräuchte ich dafür auch nicht. Und da gibt’s sicher noch viele andere Menschen.
Это в высшей степени гениальное симфоническое произведение величайшего из музыкантов в истории человечества стало первой классической музыкальной композицией, которую услышал ещё в детстве и был потрясён силой её гармонии, красоты, величия, всепоглощающего очарования, граничащего с благоговением перед могуществом звукового океана, музыкальным цунами обрушивающегося на слушателя в первой части этого бессмертного шедевра. Ведь в пятой симфонии по сути сконцентрирована вся духовная составляющая человеческой жизни, включающая и ту часть пути, которая находится за пределами земного существования. Страстность, упоение в борьбе, красота, любовь, стремление к счастью, радость и ощущение праздника, когда силы добра побеждают зло - душа и сердце разрываются от гаммы чувств, захлёстывающих при погружении в восхитительный бетховенский мир, звуковое великолепие которого не сравнимо ни с чем! Блистательный оркестр и прославленный дирижёр своим искусством творят чудеса, поднимая монументальное произведение великого классика на фантастическую, непревзойдённую высоту! Наслаждению нет предела!
Лиш тільки прочитання прізвища Beethoveen потребує нової транскрипції з поваги до генія... А не па-мацкальскі далі продовжувати БетхОвен та й БетхОвег (наголос на О). Вашої МАЦКАЛОТИ в европах уже багато... Німецьку, нідерландську уже чують і чують, ЯК вимовляти слід прізвище Beethowveen...😊😊😊
@@МайяМарусик киeвит - марш в стoйлo, какой тебе Бетховен? Сиди в своем cвинapнике, быдлo. Господи, вы весь интернет зacpали. Бетховена не трогай, живoтноe.
Olá Eduardo, eu tenho o mesmo nome que você e penso do mesmo modo. Acho o Brasil um lugar estranho. Embora a música clássica não faça parte da cultura do país, temos algumas orquestras e músicos que não deixam nada a desejar em relação a seus congêneres estrangeiros. Vai entender?
No matter how many performance will be performed and how many conductor will conduct this genius masterpiece no one will match and reach the level that only Herr Herbert Blomstedt reached because simply he is the only one that reaches the way that this Symphony should be and must be performed! I am very selective in a sense that's really hard and difficult to my ear can be pleased but he did it! Only him who did it.
Oh ! beautiful Beethoven Sym.No.5 , I love this tempo so so so much, Blomstedt' s breathing, long note and rhythm articulation are veryveryvery easy to enjoy them.
During his tenure in San Francisco in the 1980’s, I had the distinct pleasure of both hearing the Maestro’s work and personally connecting with him after performances. He was always gracious and happy to receive a dedicated public. Once, after a wonderful Bruckner 8th, we went backstage afterwards, and I told the Maestro that I had never heard a better Bruckner 8th. The Maestro seemed thunderstruck to hear such praise. He threw his head back, looked at me, and said, “Really?” Yes, really, Maestro. God bless you and your continuing good work.

Magistral interpretación de la célebre Quinta Sinfonía del genial compositor alemán Ludwig van Beethoven que es sin ninguna duda una de las obras más importantes de toda la historia musical. No tengo palabras para definir acertadamente la sabiduría que posee el legendario director de orquesta sueco-estadounidense Herbert Blomstedt que a pesar de tener en la actualidad 94 años todavía continua en activo como Maestro Invitado de las más prestigiosas orquestas mundiales. BRAVO !!!! Saludos desde España.
This Fifth Symphony I will call it. The Symphony of JUSTICE! Beethoven was an absolute Philosophical Genius. Who put his Philosophical transcendental ideas into MUSIC! not WORDS! he was the Ultimate! The truly Guardian of the Classical Music. His face in Heaven, probably it's pure LIGHTNING! ⚡! 🙄
In his apparition Herbert Blomstedt is the eagle watching over his domains. In his music he is the most understanding and supporting eagle we ever have come to know. Thank you maestro for your lifelong commitment to classical music. This Beethoven, symphony no 5, is the perfect example of how gorgeous this cooperation can be.
Good Lord the 3rd mvmt is delicious... Also, as a former non-professional flute player, I must give a Shout Out to the principal flute player here. She has achieved perfect timing with the orchestra and also an astounding Beethovenian flute tone. Brava. An A+. The entire Woodwind Section is stupendous. Thank You to Maestro Blomstedt for having a solid idea about how this symphony should go and for following through on that idea. You clearly were not merely "dialing it in". For that, and for your musical ideas about Beethoven's 5th, I thank you.
I’ve always thought the third movement of this symphony was really underrated. The melody at the beginning that is intentionally reminiscent of that of the first, while remaining interesting and unique is simply sublime. Then the fugue in the middle is one of Beethoven’s finest in my mind, which is followed by the repetition of the opening melody which begins the whole journey again. As the icing on the cake the movement ends with a wonderful soft pizzicato and solo clarinet and flute rendition of the opening melody which really adds a sense of finality to the movement. Despite being the shortest of the piece, the third movement is does a simply wonderful job of building to a conclusion that is both inevitable, and refreshing: a perfect postlude for the second, and a stirring prelude to the fourth. Beethoven truly was a master of his craft.
Christmas Day 2024, The universe led me here to express my gratitude to All for the amazing gifts from these astounding musicians and artists. Mele Kalikimaka from Hawaii.
For a video captured over 22 years ago, this is amazing. I was drawn to the performance both because I know of Mr. Blomstedt from his tenure with the San Francisco Symphony but also because when I bought a CD set with Beethoven symphonies I selected a modest priced set with him as conducting the Dresden Staatskapelle. I've been listening to it of late, doubtless filling those shelter-in-place days created by COVID and omicron. This amazing music is exactly what the doctor ordered. This performance is first rate. Thanks DW for all the wonderful things you offer through RUclips.

PHEW!! No words can express the emotion I have after hearing this AGAIN!!! Words can only be expressed through hearing this magnificent artistry!!! Thank you Father for gifting us with the genius that is Beethoven!!!
I first heard this symphony when I was around age 7 when I listened to it on my brother's 78 rpm portable phonograph and fell in love with classical music. I am now age 80 and still love Beethoven's 5th symphony.
🌅 🌅 October 2, 2023 Magnificent performance by the Orchestra with Maestro Herbert Blomstedt conducting! I have had the great pleasure of hearing Maestro Herbert Blomstedt conduct at the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra a number of times and meeting him twice and asking him to autograph his CD’s including his Beethoven Symphonies set! I went to his concert at the SF Symphony earlier this year, and very much look forward to attending all three of his concerts in San Francisco on February 2 - 4, 2024, when he will be conducting Schubert’s Symphony No. 6 and Beethoven‘s Symphony No. 7!

Wow! It's been years since I listened to Beethoven's 5th and this is the best recording I've heard. Such lament and power and well, just listen to it. I have the late 60's Karajan/BPO and Rattle's/LSO recordings but Blomstedt/GOL will now be my go to. It's simply breath taking.
Wunderschöne und spannende Aufführung dieser ewigen und perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der letzte Satz klingt besonders spannend und auch überzeugend. Der intelligente und unvergleichliche schwedische Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete deutsche Orchester im gut analysierten Tempo und mit dramatisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Wundervoll und atemberaubend zugleich!
So many members of the audience absolutely rapt, *actively* engaged. I've never seen an audience doing so much active listening. I don't know if that had something to do with the occasion for this concert, but it *must* have mostly to do with the vitality and focus of the performance. Remarkable video.
Remarkable performance. Great orchestra. Great conductor and greater director of videography. Thanks DW for providing another great classical performance.
Das ist so eine wunderbare und absolut geniale Musik, kongenial gespielt vom Gewandhausorchester unter der Leitung des phantastischen Herbert Blomstedt. Da ist eigentlich keine Steigerung mehr möglich, das ist das alleroberste Fach im Regal. Eine gute halbe Stunde musikalischer Rausch mit großem Abhängigkeitspotential, aber nicht gesundheitsgefährdend. Ganz im Gegenteil, Labsal für die Seele, die mit dieser Musik Flügel bekommt. Einen riesengroßen Dank an die DW, daß Ihr dieses Masterpiece ins Netz gestellt habt.
H. Blomstedt ist einer der besten Dirigenten des Gegenwarts. Es macht mir immer Spaß, wenn ich seine Aufnahmen anhöre und ansehe. Meine erste Bekanntschaft mit Blomstedt hat seit der 6. Sinfonie von Beethoven angefangen. Vielen Dank dem Inhaber des Kanals fürs Hochladen dieses schönen Videos!
Great interpretation. Blomsted is fantastic. I heard him in Tanglewood two summers ago. Joshua Bell Beethoven Violin Concerto and the Seventh Symphony.
Thank you for the context of this concert and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, for all of us who lived under communist regime, it was a miracle to see East and West Germany reunified without violence.
It’s as if I’m hearing this for the first time in my life, 69 years. Every note every tone, every nuance was as perfect as if Beethoven were conducting it himself. The venue and the acoustics lend itself to the absolute perfection of his ninth symphony.
Majestic Magnificent Marvelous Master of music ! Love the beauty of the highlights and lower peaceful sections of this fantastic favorite 🤗🙏☀ places me in the air of tranquility ! Powerful ! 😀🌠🤗

Esta sinfonía es una hermosa obra de arte , bajo la inspiración de un genio como lo es Beethoven , que le dio vida a un tema musical que permanecerá con nosotros, por los siglos de los siglos Amen.
This was October 1999, now it is October 2022, and Maestro Blomstedt is still conducting, now 95 years old. Whar a wonderful life together with music!

Wow! I love Beethoven, I love Blomstedt! What a great venue to hear the great music.
the more i listen to this the more i am addicted to this
Great interpretation. Blomsted is fantastic. I heard him in Tanglewood two summers ago. Joshua Bell Beethoven Violin Concerto and the Seventh Symphony.
We're glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to follow us for the latest uploads.
1st movement is a masterpiece which I never get bored of listening and crooning the bass partition.
Thank you for the context of this concert and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, for all of us who lived under communist regime, it was a miracle to see East and West Germany reunified without violence.
Was für ein tolles Konzert, in einer schönen Atmosphäre!
Excellente interprétation, dense, nerveuse mais sans excès. Tempo parfait. Son de grande qualité. Parfait!!
Magnífico
Desde Guatemala 🇬🇹
It’s as if I’m hearing this for the first time in my life, 69 years. Every note every tone, every nuance was as perfect as if Beethoven were conducting it himself. The venue and the acoustics lend itself to the absolute perfection of his ninth symphony.
That's the wonderful thing about Classical music - the old "warhorses" can still be heard as if they were new and fresh compositions.
Timeless music! Epic performance of the Maestro! So thankful for being alive and get to know both...
This symphony is just unbelievable.
Todas las sinfonías de Beethoven son una joya. Esta interpretación y dirección me parece magistral. Bravo 💪

Esta sinfonía es una hermosa obra de arte , bajo la inspiración de un genio como lo es Beethoven , que le dio vida a un tema musical que permanecerá con nosotros, por los siglos de los siglos Amen.
