Art/Literary - Music / Article on famous conductor
Romanian term or phrase: în persoana...în care s-a format
The context here is as follows:

" Instinct de cea mai pură muzicalitate, în persoana maestrului [conductor name] se împerecheau într-un mod armonios caracteristicile școlii germane, în care s-a format, cu inspirația originii sale meridionale. "

I begun this sentence with:
"With the most natural musical instinct, [conductor name] combined the harmonious characteristics of the German schools, with [????-now the problem], with (or inspired by?) his southern origins."

My problem is that I am unsure whether there is some element of the conductor's personality being referred to here due to the words: "în persoana", so I do not know what "s-a format" should be - this is the connection which would make a difference in the English anyway.
