Video: Bruckner Symphony No. 9 by Herbert Blomstedt

Herbert Blomstedt is one of the finest Bruckner conductors in this era. His upcoming cycle with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig on Querstand should be one of the best on record judging from the individual releases so far.

Before we get his latest Bruckner 9 CD, here is a video of his BBC Proms 2010 concert of the same symphony on 1 Sep 2010, conducting the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester. Short excerpts of Blomstedt conducting Bruckner are numerous, but full-length concert footage is rare.
