About

Discoveries, Grammy award winner Gustavo Dudamel's first ‘Best of’ album, features favourites from Beethoven to Bernstein and several Dudamel tracks never before released on CD including highlights from Mendelssohn’s ‘Scottish’ Symphony and the ‘Bacchanale’ from Saint-Saëns’ Samson et Delila.

This project is released in two formats: CD stand alone and CD+DVD.

The DVD component on the CD + DVD features the prize-winning, critically-acclaimed documentary by Enrique Sánchez Lansch: The Promise of Music.

Discoveries covers many aspects of Gustavo Dudamel's fascinating musical story so far: the story of his roots in Venezuela’s El Sistema (on The Promise of Music), and recordings with many of the orchestras with which he is most closely associated: The Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic, the Berlin Philharmonic and the Gothenburg Symphony.

“With my orchestras,” says Dudamel, “we think of music like jet fuel. It’s pure adrenaline – and I think you can hear it.”

The track with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (Vivace non troppo from Mendelssohn’s Symphony No.3) is taken from the brand new charity LP. This is a first and ONLY release on CD.

Reviews

14th July 2012

the sheer gusto with which they attack the "Danse Russe" from The Nutcracker is exhilarating enough; and following it with the Gothenburg Symphony's scherzo from Bruckner's 9th demonstrates how ably Dudamel transfers his energy to another vehicle.
