Herbert Sandberg (conductor)
Herbert Ludwig Sandberg (26 February 1902 – 7 January 1966) was a Swedish
Polish Jewish
descent.
Life and career
Born in
Breslau
(now Wrocław), Sandberg was the son of Dr. Richard and
Franziska Betty (née Rosenthal) Sandberg.[1] He was educated in Germany where he was a pupil of Julius Prüwer in Breslau and Leo Blech in Berlin.[2] He later married Blech's daughter, Lisel Blech, on 19 August 1939.
Sandberg began his career as a RIAS Symphony Orchestra in Berlin.[2]
Sandberg's recordings as a conductor include a 1955 recording of
lieder, and the scores to four Swedish films: Blod och eld (1945), Det vackraste på jorden (1947), Giftas (1955), and Ett dockhem (1956).[2]
He is perhaps best remembered for translating several major German operas into the Swedish language; some of which are still used by the RSO and other opera houses in Sweden.
Sandberg died in Danderyd, aged 63.
Eva Sandberg
is his sister.
