Stig Westerberg, although not a direct creator of the releases listed, played an instrumental role in these remarkable recordings. As a distinguished Swedish conductor, born in 1918, he was widely revered for his interpretations of both Swedish and international orchestral music. Westerberg served as the music director of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra among other ensembles and was particularly noted for his interpretations of the works of Hugo Alfvén, as evident from several of the releases mentioned. His skilled baton brought to life the rich tapestries of Scandinavian music, alongside masterpieces of the broader European classical repertoire.

During his career, Westerberg collaborated with numerous prominent musicians, contributing to the legacy of classic European compositions through live performances and recordings. He was known for fostering musical talent and delivering performances that were rich in nuance, often emphasizing the emotional and lyrical aspects of the music. Westerberg's legacy within the classical music community continues to be celebrated through the reissue of archival recordings, allowing new audiences to experience the distinctive clarity and depth he brought to the podium. His contributions to the Leygraf Archives and various collections featuring violinists David Oistrakh and Endre Wolf, as well as soprano Siv Wennberg, highlight his versatility and commitment to showcasing the dynamic range of classical music.
