Born in 1927 but looking and working (conducting is a serious work, right?) like a bunny rabbit (in an old battery company commercial.) A role model for seniors - including me. Thank you, Maestro, for many decades of good music.

I think was done in 2014 when he was in his late 80's.

This is "old school" at its very best. I've listened to Blomstedt live some times in his San Francisco years. Always satisfying. But this one? I have a recording of Sir John Barbirolli from the 1960's. Every other recording I've heard is the typical modern rush rush, shred the fabric of the original intent. Oh my. Experience in complete control of a world class orchestra. Absolutely caressing the of so perfect phrasing. Tempos give space for the music to breathe its character. The best I've ever heard of this work. Just wonderful! And yes, I'm 70, and he's like a quarter century older than me. Bravo maestro!

He conducts without a score in front of him. He trusts his memory even though he is in his mid 90’s. Amazing. And he doesn’t try to control the orchestra. He just lets them play and makes sure they don’t go off the rails. Beautiful musicianship all around.

I saw him conduct Symphonie Fantastique 3 years ago with the Philadelphia Orchestra without a score, its truly incredible!

Thank you!

After watching this, I am just a pup at 81! Thank you so much for this; I needed it!

[@michaelpatterson2955]

Pieces such as this help us make sense of a mad world. What an inspiration!

[@bassoonatlarge9752]

excellent performance... all the nostalgia of the ONE time I've played this - in college. Now I'm finally going to play it again as a professional.

[@annamariamanfredi6624]

Thank you❤ Good Morning World ❤ Peace and Love ❤

Brahms, non c'è modo migliore per iniziare questa giornata di festa! Grazie!

[@VyacheslavLogutin]

10:50 is a gem indeed!

[@davefaulks]

I remember my father playing a 78rpm record of this when I was a boy. He was known as Tony, although Anthony was really his middle name, as it is mine. It has stayed with me through life. This version of the Brahms variations is by far the best!

[@Frptlinyy]

At 5 my father used to let me play his 78 recording of Sir Thomas Beechem conducting this piece

[@hyungwookjun9386]

Best recording of haydn variation in whole youtube. This video makes me pleasant. Every instrument is clearly lvely heard and tempo is just what I prefer.

[@jeanparke9373]

16:08 just out of this world. My heart swells every time when I hear it❤

[@marcosPRATA918]

Brahms conseguiu manter seu estilo único mesmo sob um tema de Haydn..., resultado, temos os dois em um só!

[@sandygardiner6433]

Beautiful music

[@richardwilliams473]

The longevity of this amazing conductor can be credited to his Scandinavian upbringing

[@roberthill799]

And how would you know that? Maybe it's genes or just blind luck.

[@owmw1934]

I love everything I have heard from this symphony. Superb orchestra, wonderful maestro, and the very best camera and sound productions. Brahms exposition on a drab Haydn tune is amazing.

[@roberthill799]

There is nothing at all drab about the original Haydn work. Peasant!

[@LuisFernandez-mz7uw]

Extraordinario maestro, que maravilla poder dedicarse aún a su pasión por la música, un ejemplo inusual.

[@cleison2432]

uma obra desse nível nus eleva positivamente.
