This is the story of a boy who fell madly in love with
classical music at the age of twelve, practicing enthusiastically- first his
violin and later the organ. It’s the chronicle of a young man who, instead of
following his father’s wish that he becomes a Seventh-day Adventist pastor,
opted to study music.
The passion and love of music from that early stage of his
life led this young musician to becoming a conductor in the world’s leading
symphony orchestras. The book tells the story of this maestro who has served
the field of classical music with humility, integrity, kindness, and an
encyclopedic knowledge of the classical music repertoire.
In sum, the book is the celebration of a world-class
conductor who is also an exceptional person, loved and respected by
concertgoers and musicians worldwide.
What’s even more interesting is the fact this is an ongoing
story as Blomstedt is far from done in his music achievement, even as he has
just turned 90 years old. If you Google his name, you’ll find he has an extraordinary
line up of upcoming concerts.
