Es sorprendente que siendo Gustavo Dudamel un director de orquesta tan joven, sea a su vez, maestro de otros directores con mayor edad que él. ¡Viva Venezuela! ¡Viva América!
@kuan12345 Man, I wish people would stop making a big deal about Dudamel being young. He's thrilling but most conductors are in front of orchestras by the time they're in their twenties. Toscanini was conducting entire operas when he was in his 20s. Heck, Lorin Maazel - you'd consider him old - was taking conducting lessons at 7 and conducted at age 8. What's impressive is the level of success Dudamel has had so far. But the thing about him being young is, seriously, not unique or amazing.
@TheStockwell How about Dudamel being from a family of limited economic means. Being from the provinces of Venezuela, and shooting to the top of the classical music world. Those conductors whom you mentioned come from wealthy upper class european backgrounds makes Dudamel and Venezuela all the more IMPRESSIVE. He must be thanking God that he was not born a Latino in the USA.
@padredemishijos12 Toscanini's father was a tailor, not "a wealthy upper class european." I'm talking about his age. You're talking about his family's financial background. You're changing the subject and not addressing my comments at all. I understand.
@TheStockwell No, you are wrong. Dudamel had his own orchestra at age sixteen! Toscanini came from Italy, the country of the Renaissance, Verdi, Rossini, and all the great composers of Italy and Europe. That was the envoronment that Toscanini came from. Dudamel came from the provences of Venezuela, a country plunder by Spain and the USA, It has a history of slavery, plantations, extreme exploitation corruption and violence. It is a testamony to the Bolivarian Revolution that produced Dudamel.
@padredemishijos12 Toscanini's father was a tailor, not "a wealthy upper class european." I'm talking about his age. You're talking about his family's financial background. You're constantly changing the subject and not addressing my comments at all. "Slavery, plantations, extreme exploitation corruption, and violence" - is that all Dudamel represents? I'm trying to learn about Dudamel's musicianship and it isn't happening here. Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore.
Wow I love how Dudamel is so positive in the way he asks the orchestra to play and change. I envy his ability to express so freely. He really puts himself out there
The main thing I dislike about Dudamel's conducting is that no matter what he's conducting, he always seems happy. He seemed happy when he was conducting the climax of 2nd movement of Shostakovich's 10th symphony, and he seemed happy at 2:49. It seems like he's always having a lot of fun, which is a great thing, but I want to see some anguish and rage sometimes (often actually).
@AbsoluteZ3R0 – I rather believe that Dudamel (being front and center of an orchestra that's playing an inspired performance after a lot of hard work) feels sublime joy upon hearing the music playing in perfect harmony and so dearly expressing the emotions intended by the composer, be it happy or sad.
la verdad es que creo que dudamel es un buen director pero creo que su estilo - un estilo muy alegre- no va con ese monstruo depresivo que es la marcha funebre de esta quinta sinfonia de mahler
no dudo que pueda dirijir perfectamente otras sinfonias de mahler pero esta requiere un grado de locura y tristeza que creo que el por su caracter no tiene
Another main thing about reaction or "over reaction" is having stage presence which is a separate skill in it self. Respectfully, stage presence and music performance go hand in hand. It is the same as questioning why some one reacts the way they do in a movie. We are human's and we express emotions through other means than just words. Be not so closed minded as to believe that one must stand there and act like a metronome. Just visualize that... 1 and 2 and 3 and 1 and.O.O Boring. Peace to you
It's funny how everyone becomes such an "expert" and "critic" here. I saw him in person last night and he's really something for being as young as he is.
I agree. I saw Dudamel conduct the Philharmonia a few weeks ago. As a non "expert" I thought he inspired the orchestra and the audience. It was an experience I will never forget!
How can you judge how deep ones insight can be into this piece based solely on ones instruction to the orchestra. This orchestra is amazing and does not have to have word for word detail to produce great music. That is the beauty of working with such a wonderful ensemble, in that the connection is there regardless of how much information is given. On the flip side.. his main goal here is to instruct the three young upcoming conductors, not the orchestra. Correct me if I am missing something.
El programa l venezolano que hace posible la eclosion de Dudamel se inicia hace muchos años en los gobiernos de partidos opuestos en lo ideologico,pero concurrentes en que solo la unidad de propositos haria de ese pais una "potencia " ,si el dinero se usaba,sin desviaciones ideo-politicas. Costa Rica ayudo durante el proceso y hoy dia todos disfrutamos de la emocion de ver a Gustavo Dudamel como concresion real de ese esfuerzo historico singular.

He is Venezuala's national treasure. Mature beyond his years. I thought Esa-Pekka was young when he started but this boy is real treasure.
