Discoveries, Grammy® award winner Gustavo Dudamel's first Best of album, features favorites 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-Saens Samson et Delila
The DVD component on this CD + DVD features the prize-winning, critically-acclaimed documentary by Enrique Sanchez Lansch: The Promise of Music
Discoveries covers many aspects of Gustavo Dudamels fascinating musical story so far: the story of his roots in Venezuelas El Sistema (on The Promise of Music), and recordings with many of the orchestras with which he is most closely associated: The Simon Bolivar 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 Mendelssohns Symphony No.3) is taken from the brand new charity LP.
