Biography

GUSTAVO DUDAMEL – A BIOGRAPHICAL TIMELINE
“When Dudamel is up on the podium, he truly is ‘inside’ the music. It courses in his veins, mixing with his blood.”
Los Angeles Times, January 2010
Born on 26 January 1981 in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, Gustavo Dudamel was ten when he took up the violin, and soon was also studying composition. In 1996, he began his conducting studies with Rodolfo Saglimbeni and… Read more in Amazon's Gustavo Dudamel Store

Product Description

CD Description

Gustavo Dudamel and his Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela have stunned audiences worldwide with their explosive Latin-American showpieces. This is a unique album: no other conductor or orchestra in the world could deliver a recording like this. Passion and excitement are guaranteed. Fiesta captures the excitement of the live experience, juxtaposing contrasting showpieces such as the Stravinsky-like rhythmic drive of Revueltas’s "Sensemaya", the expansive lusciousness of "Danzón no. 2" by Marquez, the vibrant ballet suite "Estancia" by Ginastera and Bernstein’s well known "Mambo".

Fabulous fiesta! 2 Jun 2009
Format:Audio CD
Anybody who is aware of the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra will know what a tremendous and successful project it has become. For those of you who do not know, the project has given underpriviledged children the opportunity to develop their musical talents to an extremely high degree. Julian Lloyd Webber is hoping to develop a project along these lines in the UK. This CD is truly fantastic. The superb orchestra reacts to Dudamel's direction with perfection.
If you have been lucky enough to see the orchestra live, you will know that it is an experience that lives with you. They are super talented, engergetic and entertaining.
Enjoy this CD with the passion it deserves.

This CD is brilliant. I bought it after I heard just one track and wasn't disappointed with the whole thing! It's hard to realise that this is a youth orchestra and is from a nation with no traditional background or love of classical music. Well done!

Brilliant 3 Jun 2009
Format:Audio CD
I keep on listening to this recroding all the time - it is brilliant, energizing and powerufl music and the fact that it is played by a youth orchestra adds even more energy and passion to the recording.
Of course it is not like actually being at one of their concerts but you can feel all the beauty listening to this CD as well.
Highly recommended for anyone who thought they don't really like classical music - after this one it will be impossible not to get addicted to classical music.
