Tchaikovsky & Shakespeare

Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, Gustavo Dudamel

Duration66 Min

Gustavo Dudamel Gustavo Dudamel, currently serving as artistic director of acclaimed orchestras in Gothenburg, Los Angeles, and Venezuela, interprets Tchaikovsky's orchestral works inspired by William Shakespeare's dramas.

While "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Tempest" closely follow their literary sources, Tchaikovsky's "Hamlet" is a freer adaptation of the original story. Hailed by Vanity Fair as an "energetic ambassador of classical music," Dudamel delivers these works with impressive performances by the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela.
