Nielsen Inextinquishable with a vivacious, 90-something Herbert Blomstedt at the Cleveland Orchestra. In addition to the incredible performance, he wrote a touching program note about “the irrepressible will to live.” My wife and I were speechless and in tears at the end.
Wow, what a great memory to share with your wife! I saw Blomstedt conduct Brahms 1 here in Pittsburgh and it was so special. We wouldn't stop clapping so he finally did the 3rd movement over again as an encore. The Inextinguishable happens to be the piece I saw the CMU Philharmonic play during my college visit, and it also had a big impact on me!
Also, Prokofiev 5 is the best!
Next week will be my first time performing it--can't wait!
