Description
This DVD portrays Gustavo Dudamel's thrilling debut at the Salzburg Festival in 2008 recorded live in the heat of the moment at the Grosses Festspielhaus. This compelling concert features Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, orchestrated in psychedelic colors by Ravel, eliciting rousing playing from Dudamel's young instrumentalists. For the Beethoven's Triple Concerto, Dudamel assembles the classical dream team including pianist Martha Argerich, violinist Renaud Capuçon and cellist Gautier Capuçon who bring emotionality to one of Beethoven's most emotionally naked compositions. DVD EXTRAS: Die Schule des Hörens--master classes in listening led by Dudamel, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, and the SBYOV as given at the 2008 Salzburg Festival.

 Live from Salzburg November 15, 2009
Gladys Barnett (Los Angeles, CA United States)
I also purchased The Promise of Music, which is of more general interest. However, there's no getting around it that here is an exceptionally talented, inspiring, musician. Enjoy them both.
He is "The Dud" of the next generation of conductors November 7, 2009
Edward A. Nelson (Florida)
Gustavo Dudamel is the one to bring classical music
to young and senior citizens that have not experienced
this genre of music. His enthusiasm and that of this
orchestra indicates that given anyone a chance they
can make something of themselves as members of this orchestra did.
Gustavo has joined the ranks of the great conductor and has not
reached 30 years of age.. Treat yourself and purchase this DVD.
You will not be sorry.
REMARKABLE October 28, 2009
William Kuhlman (decorah, iowa)
This is truly one of the greatest performances I have ever seen on a DVD.
I am a professional musician (organist) who played a number of years ago with Marc Reese, trumpeter with the Empire Brass at the Caracas concert hall with the Youth Orchestra. Like the DVD, the orchestra blew my mind with the quality and enthusiasm of their playing.
I later was taken out to dinner with Maestro Dudamel and Dr. Abreu. I was impressed not only with their commitment to the musical art, but to their humanity. This program takes Venezuelan children of the underclass and gives them opportunities through music to elevate their status in life, and hope for a future other than poverty. This program should serve as a model for the world.
This is a wonderful DVD and I highly recommend it!

If you are fan of Gustavo Dudamel and his outstanding potentiality of very possibly becoming one of the greatest conductors of all times, then THIS particular remarkable DVD will indeed support that potential conclusion.
If ever their was a LEGITIMATE candidate for the Nobel Peace prize, it would have to be:
José Antonio Abreu,
He is a Venezuelan economist, who conceived and founded back in 1975 (long before the Hugo Chavez political upheaval existed) the "National Network of Youth and Children's Orchestras of Venezuela",for the purpose of reducing poverty, the undereducated and above all,the lack of INITIATIVE to hundreds of Venezuelan youths. He gave them the ever elusive INCENTIVE, by introducing them in participating and becoming directly involved in the creation (playing) of classical music and also by furnishing the musical instruments for doing so. He created INCENTIVE and MOTIVATION.
It also was also the support of the parents, that help to make the program such a hugh success.
It was from this remarkable benevolent program that Gustavo Dudamel found his destiny, along with hundreds of other Venezuelan youths and THIS remarkable DVD will certainly bear that out.
This remarkable youth orientated program is finding its way into other countries and I hope that includes the U.S.A.
This is a OUTSTANDING DVD for anyone that likes classical music or has never heard or seen a classical music prefromance.
I M P O R T A N T! THIS DVD is especially desirable for ANY young person who shows an interest in music, especially in any musical instrument.
The outstanding supporting three guest preformers, in the included Beethoven's "Triple Concerto" (Martha Argerich- Renaud & Gautier Capucon) on THIS DVD is alone worth the price of THIS DVD. You will be rewarded of the pathos of these three guest preformers.
Starting this fall, Gustavo Dudamel became the musical director of the Los Angeles Symphony orchestra. If it was in my power,I would also try to keep the same orchestra that is on THIS DVD.
Close your eyes for a moment and you will think you are hearing the world greatest Orchestra, maybe you are.
Being 83 years old, the only regret I have, is that I wont be around to see the indubitability future of Gustavo Dudamel.
In not too many years, this DVD will become priceless.
Using DVD's of such musical performances, certainly makes it more interesting and entertaining.
If possible, please allow yourself about 3 hours of viewing (and listening)of ALL the features of this OUTSTANDING DVD,it IS a spiritual experience (to me) and has brought me to tears of enjoyment and astonishment every time I view and review this remarkable particular DVD, which is often.

See, Hear, Experience Dudamel's Influence on Musicians and Audiences October 9, 2009

9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Even for those plucky naysayers who are skeptical of the impact young Gustavo Dudamel is making not only in his new home with the Los Angeles Philharmonic but in the tenor of classical music around the world, this DVD of the maestro conducting his Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra in performances of the Mussorgsky/Ravel 'Pictures at an Exhibition' and a radiant performance of Beethoven's Triple Concerto with Martha Argerich and Renard and Gautier Capucon as soloists will erase all doubts of the exciting musicality that emanates from this gifted wunderkind. The sound reproduction of the DVD is excellent and the manner in which the cinematographers have captured both the wholly involved conductor and performers immersed in this music is excellent.
But there are two aspects of this recorded live performance that are especially noteworthy. One, the concert in from the usually somewhat staid Salzburg Music Fetival in 2008, and witnessing the furor of reaction to Dudamel borders on adulation. It is thrilling to see audiences respond so vocally and viscerally to a performance. And two, the portion of the DVD that is called 'School of Listening' - moments of verbal intruction and interplay with his orchestra as they prepare for a performance of Mahler's First Symphony. Even as a speaker Dudamel reaches out to his compatriots with selfless enthusiasm and some very fine ideas about Mahler that should result in lessons for us all.
If Dudamel can recreate the magic of inspiring the youth of this country to reach for dreams the way he has influenced the youth of Venezuela, then the future of Classical music is secure. This is a delightful and enriching DVD. Grady Harp, October 09
