The young musicians of the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela and their conductor Gustavo Dudamel invite the worldwide TV audience to an exceptional concert from the newly opened Concert Hall in Caracas. A rousing choice of Venezuelan and Latin-American classics is to be experienced through the compositions of Perez Prado, Arturo Marquez, Silvestre Revueltas and Astor Piazzolla. Nowadays, the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra is regarded as a sensation in classical music. The Venezuelan youth orchestra consists of graduates of the unique Venezuelan music education system. The result is an incredibly virtuoso and passionate orchestra sound. The conductor Gustavo Dudamel is a "child" of this system. The members of the Venezuelan Brass Ensemble, which was founded in 2003, are also from the midst of this orchestra. They play two pieces composed by their own musicians. Alexis Cárdenas' ensemble consists of eight of the best-known musicians of Venezuela. They play a mixture of improvised virtuosity and tender melancholy of the various Venezuelan folk music traditions. The repertoire flows from the stirring Joropo across Venezuelan waltzes to the Merengue.

Tracklist:

* Giancarlo Castro - Gran Fanfaria
* Felix Mendoza - Guerra de Secciones
* Arturo Marquez - Conga del fuego

* Pradelio Hernández - Cabra Mocha
* Manuel Yánez - Viajero del Río
* Jacob de Mandolin - Voo da Mosca
* Romero Aldemaro - Fuga con Pajarillo

* Astor Piazzolla - La muerte del Angel
* Silvestre Revueltas - Sensemayá
* Perez Prado - Mambos (Arr. Eugenio Toussaint)
* Leonard Bernstein - Mambo

I can say for sure that this performance of the Mambo from West Side Story is the greatest that I’ve ever experienced!

Is there anything he can't direct and make it sound beyond words
@johnbaker3016 3 years ago

He's unbeatable. And Right. Every tallented musician knows this when they are near him. He can pull music out of wood and wire, brass and skin, dried up ink and paper and more than that the best possible music out of every last imstument in His sight. What a Spirit. He can coax the Spinix to cry for an encore. Give him every young musician in the world and stand back. He's the real thing. Bet my last cent he'll write even better than he conducts and plays. Just get out of his way. Ear buds just allow him more direct eye hand contact than paper. Who would be stupid enough not to understand the man can pull more out of any score than anyone else ever has. Not to mention any random group of would be musicians. He's just the best it happens that way might as admit now.
