He’s 95
Why on Earth the two thumbs-down??
Blomstedt is born in 1927, do the math !!
Again, two Thumbs-down!
Trolls on the loose? Or is it Math-haters?
95 and 35 days young as of August 14, 2022.
Stay away from the nefarious medical people!
Very sad; at his age a fall is a major event. Let’s hope he overcomes it and gets to conduct again. It must be hugely frustrating for him. Courage and bonne chance, grand maitre.
Get well soon, dear Maestro Blomstedt! He was wonderful in a concert he gave with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Maria Joao Pires in May this year. Magnificent and inspirational. Wishing him (95 years old, not 91) a speedy and uncomplicated recovery.
HB has the same birthday as SD owner – maybe he takes a couple of years off his own age 🙂
I played in Blomstedt’s conducting seminar orchestra in California in the late 70s. What a fabulous conductor, musician, and person. As a player, you knew exactly what he wanted from you, and made it so easy to do it. I’m sorry to hear he’s had a fall and difficult recovery.
Maestro Bloomstedt whipped the San Francisco Orchestra into world class performers and made Bruckner my favorite composer. Well played!
