The Swedish conductor will celebrate his 97th birthday on Thursday with a performance of Bruckner’s ninth symphony.

He will conduct the Bamberger Symphoniker in the first of three concerts, this one at St Florian’s Church, Linz, where  Anton Bruckner was organist and where he is buried.
Happy birthday, Herbert Bllomstedt.
