Sixten Ehrling (1918-2005)
This Swedish pianist began his career in Sweden, before becoming an international conductor both in symphonic and operatic areas. Besides some Sibelius, one of his first recordings as a conductor was Tchaikovsky’s piano Concerto n°1 with Emil Guilels. One of his last one comprised Wagner, Mahler and Weinberger music. As “best” one, I have chosen a rather funny piece by Hilding Rosenberg (1892-1985).

His first recording may be concertos by Pergolesi (1954) and one of his last ones, Italian trumpet concertos. For the “best”, Vivaldi’s Dixit.
