Blomstedt conducts Bach & Beethoven (2005) [Blu-ray]

This DVD/Blu-ray was recorded in 2005 at the Leipzig Bach Festival, which is widely regarded as the world's leading festival celebrating Johann Sebastian Bach. Performed with leading Bach singers at St. Thomas' Church, Leipzig, the church for which Bach conceived his works, this homage to Bach was a touching farewell to Herbert Blomstedt from his Leipzig audience. The state-of-the-art DVD also features the popular conductor in a bonus track, where Herbert Blomstedt introduces the audience to the B minor Mass, the most important of Bach's sacred works.

Recorded live at St. Thomas’s Church, Leipzig, 8 May 2005
