Tchaikovsky & Shakespeare!
DUDAMEL CONDUCTS THE SIMON BOLIVAR YOUTH ORCHESTRA IN ALL-NEW TCHAIKOVSKY RECORDING TO BE RELEASED MARCH 8
Gustavo Dudamel, the “energetic ambassador for classical music” (Vanity Fair), returns with this all-new Deutsche Grammophon recording of symphonic works derived from Shakespeare as re-imagined in music by Tchaikovsky. Leading the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela for their sixth collaboration on the Yellow Label, this new recording will be available everywhere on March 8.
Dudamel leads the electrifying Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra
of Venezuela in Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest and Hamlet - three unique
concert works that display both the virtuosity and refinement of the ensemble.
Previously the group has recorded Mahler, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky
and a program of devoted to Latin American composers - all under the
direction of Dudamel. In a unique nod to the roots of this program, DG has
asked actor Simon Callow to write the program notes and give context to Shakespeare’s
works.
Pre-order the CD.
Coinciding with the release, Dudamel will lead the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a series of concerts with the same program of repertoire. The March 13th concert, live from Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA, will be broadcast in movie theaters. This will be the second broadcast in a series of events featuring the LA Phil and Dudamel.

Deutsche Grammophon continues with more recordings of Dudamel throughout 2011. In July DG will release a digital-only recording of Dudamel with the LA Phil in a program of works by Brahms and in August DG will release a box set featuring Dudamel with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in works by Sibelius, Nielsen and Bruckner. With each orchestra, from Venezuela to Sweden, Dudamel brings his unique passion and energy and reinvigorates the concert experience.
