Gustavo Dudamel and his Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of\nVenezuela (SBYOV) have stunned audiences worldwide with their\nexplosive Latin-American showpieces. This is a unique album: no\nother conductor or orchestra in the world could deliver a recording\nlike this. Passion and excitement are guaranteed!
\n
The recording captures the excitement of the live experience,\njuxtaposing contrasting showpieces such as the Stravinsky-like\nrhythmic drive of Revueltas’s Sensemaya, the expansive lusciousness\nof Danzón no. 2 by Marquez, the vibrant ballet suite Estancia by\nGinastera and Bernstein’s well known Mambo. The moment when the\nmusicians are revealed dressed in their national colours has become\nthe signature of the SBYOV, as is the blistering energy and\nexuberance with which they perform these pieces.
