Notes and Editorial Reviews



Energy and excitement as Dudamel’s young players take on Tchaikovsky

Gustavo Dudamel and his supercharged orchestra seem to mature by leaps with every release. They throw themselves into the drama of this great symphony with everything they have – if, for me, they miss the refinement of a Pletnev, the sense of pain all the more cutting for the sufferer’s self-restraint, that is patently not what Dudamel is all about.

-- Gramophone [4/2009]
