About:
Gustavo Dudamel and his Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela (SBYOV) 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!
The recording 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 Danzon no. 2 by Marquez, the vibrant ballet suite Estancia by Ginastera and Bernstein's well known Mambo The moment when the musicians are revealed dressed in their national colours has become the signature of the SBYOV, as is the blistering energy and exuberance with which they perform these pieces.
Dudamel is nominated for the Classic FM Gramophone Awards - Artist of the Year 2009. To vote visit http://www.gramophone.co.uk/
