Stig Evald Börje Westerberg (26 November 1918 – 1 July 1999) was a Swedish conductor and pianist, whose career was based mostly in his home country.
[1] Born in Malmö, Stig Westerberg studied Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm from 1937 to 1942, with Melchior Melchers for theory and Tor Mann for conducting.
[1] He championed Swedish composers such as Hugo Alfvén, Kurt Atterberg, Allan Pettersson and Wilhelm Stenhammar alongside the core repertoire.
Westerberg premiered over 80 works and left a major legacy of broadcasts and of recordings on the BIS, Caprice, Sterling and Swedish Society labels.
[3] Westerberg's discography consists of many 19th and 20th-century Swedish orchestral works, including Förklädd Gud by Larsson with Lars Ekborg, Elisabeth Söderström and Erik Saedén, as well as some opera records, such as Aniara and Estrella de Soria.
