Off topic – but has Herbert Blomstedt ever conducted the VPO ?
Can’t answer that but Blomstedt is American/Swedish, not Norwegian.
Apparently he is scheduled to conduct them at the Berlin Konzerthaus in May. Also in Vienna in May.
Blomstedt has conducted the VPO a number of times.
Herbert Blomstedt is Swede.
My goodness…so many disagreable people…get a liife.
OK – thanks for enlightening me.
I know he is a Swede, I just took a parallel view on Swedish conductors and VPO. I have seen and heard Blomstedt conduct the BPO almost every year (with great success to my ears) but missed out any VPO engagements.
