Gustavo Dudamel exudes an extraordinary charisma that makes him a standout among stars. His striking dark hair and lively expressions evoke memories of a young John Travolta, while his expressive gestures bring Leonard Bernstein to mind. Whether conducting or speaking, he uses his hands with a passion that sparks the very air.
Deutsche Grammophon now celebrates this musical brilliance with a special release: The album Discoveries, which puts the 31-year-old conductor in the spotlight, offers a fascinating glimpse into his diverse repertoire. Alongside classical works, it also features important compositions by South American composers. This CD edition includes, for the first time, the "Bacchanale" from Saint-Saëns' "Samson et Dalila," the "Sacrificial Dance" from Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring," and the "Mambo" from Bernstein's "West Side Story." As an added bonus, this edition includes the award-winning documentary The Promise of Music – The Sound of Hope by Enrique Sanchez Lansch on DVD.
