Gustavo Dudamel is the best thing to happen to classical music in decades; he really loves and understands music from top-to-bottom, from left-to-right, right-to-left and inside out. May he have a long and successful career and I hope he can introduce more young people to this music much as he has with the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra.
HOLY SHIT i've never seen an audience get so excited over an orchestra performance and i wanna be there, this is so fun and energetic like i remember seeing somewhere that statistically, Venezuela is the "happiest country" and yeah i can believe it tbh
+magneato DUDE DON'T BELIEVE IT. IM FROM VENEZUELA AND IT'S NOT A HAPPY COUNTRY. THIS WAS IN 2008 BUUUUT WE'RE IN 2016 NOW AND IT'S SO FREAKING HORRIBLE LIKE DO YOU KNOW THE SHIT THAT IT'S HAPPENING???? CARACAS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS CITY *IN THE WORLD* literally so please do not say that
+magneato Aye. Colombian here. Haven't been home in a decade, but from bits of news I've seen, their country was essentially falling under a fascist bastard. He died of cancer, I believe, but the country is still in turmoil from last I heard. Also, they been butting heads with us for a while, especially when that ugly mole was in charge.
This is so wonderful that a group of lovely young people from South America can play this incredibly passionate music written by a Jewish guy in new York 60 years ago and the joy in the audience of young people. I loved for and lived when this was created . I am so lucky to see this . I know Lenny is watching and loving it!
I'm late to the party, but I don't care... this is amazing. I've been listening to music since I was born, playing it since shortly thereafter, and I've never seen such a response from an audience at a symphony concert. That's not confetti they're throwing at the orchestra. Those are flowers. They're throwing flower petals at the musicians and conductor! They're going in the tuba, in the string section, all over the piano, and they're just blazing along. I contrast this with the BBC Proms performance in the Royal Albert Hall just a short time apart from this one. They were powerful and sharp then, too, but the crowd in Caracas just made them tear the roof off the place! This music speaks to me on a personal level, too. I was born the year West Side Story first premiered. I was the son of an audio engineer who made his living recording jazz, Latin music (no, I never call it "salsa"), Broadway show cast albums, and everything in between. The original cast album for West Side Story was right in my grandmother's record collection. The music Bernstein created for this show was an example of New York City's culture: a blend of everything all the immigrants brought from all over the world. It's a genuine joy to hear how Dudamel and the Bolivar orchestra just brought it home as their own.
@MicrobeObliteratorMo And it's not just the audience; what would you say about the average age of the musicians and don't forget, this is a "world-class" symphony orchestra!!
Well...I have to say it!...not to many orchestras members know how to play and dance at the same time Bernstein's Mambo. That's what make these kids amazing...They set the bar really high and have fun at the same time.
every one is rite the best thing about this mambo, over other WWS Mambos, is that it's fun and you can see every one from the musicians to the young kids in the seats loving every minuet!!!!!! this is fantastic he is brilliant!
Lol my conductor must be sooooo energetic to even get so much as a smile of energy out of my orchestra xDD. How did he accomplish this?! You can FEEL THE EXCITEMENT THROUGH THE SCREEENNN!!
I'm just shaking my head after this...this group is so phenomenal. I think I second, third, fourth, and a hundred and thirty-sixth the comment that there would've been nothing better than to have been there at that moment.
I've watched/listened to this maybe a dozen or more times. Cried. Laughed. Danced. Now I just released another subtle element. Watch the guy on timpani. He's playing timbales part on his kettle drums!
You think that is amazing, they played Royal Albert Hall 2007 BBC Proms. The most spectacular performance. Such incredible musicians. I could listen every day. Such joy from their conductor.
Moments like this has gotten the attention of the music world. Certainly a good indicator for the LA Philharmonic, who snatched Dudamel up ASAP. And now legendary maestro John Williams has moved him to the fast track of being his musical heir apparent.
Solamente increíble, se e pone la piel de gallina al ver los comentarios... Dudamel, gracias por traernos momentos de alegría, en lo que vivimos hoy en Venezuela.
For the love of music!! Bravo, bravo!! I love listening to your Orchestra.....I love your passion. Never lose that!! I am a Latin American Dance teacher in the UK and you had me on my feet laughing and spinning! Thank you, thank you! xxx
He visto toooodos los videos,en verdad te digo que no tengo palabras para estos jovenes,Esta gente,este animo,este corazon es lo que ocupa nuestro mundo,del pais que sea,de la religion que sea,simplemente SER FELIZ!!! baile,me emocione,total me han echo sentir nuevamente lo que es ser LATINO,por eso somos grandes,que grande es Dudamel y como decimos en Mexico "ME QUITO EL SOMBRERO" ante estos musicasos,bien por Venezuela!!!
A "youth" orchestra which happens to be one of the world's greatest orchestras, playing one section of a composition by America's greatest composer/pianist/conductor. JOYOUS GENIUS.
This is what music is....passion and excellence. Was lucky enough to see Gustavo with the Vienna Symphony this past autumn @ Carnegie Hall....highlight was Ravels Balero. Go Gustavo and the youth of Venezuela!!!!
As an American I'm most excited and pleased to say that Maestro Dudamel is now the music director of The Los Angeles Philharmonic. He's the best thing to happen to the symphony in my country (or just about anywhere else) since Leopold Stokowski became the music director of The Philadelphia Orchestra in 1912.
Leonard Bernstein is smiling somewhere in the Elyssian fields of Heaven as this completely Latin audience thrills at his music! What a wonderful reaction.
Quiero ir a un concierto de ellos! *_* Orgulloso de esta orquesta al 10000% y no sólo de ella, sino tanbién del talento musical que poseemos los venezolanos (porque me consta)!! Venezuela Artística
Q espectaculo esta vaina pana q orgullo ser venezolano y q se sienta en todo el mundo nuestra buenas vibras nuestro gran corazon lo divertido y panas q somos todos !! VIVA VENEZUELA MI ALMA LLANERA MI PATRIA !!!! I LOVE TIS I LOVE MI PAIS no jodaaaa !
Q locuraaa esto se llama VIVIR LA MUSICA AL MAXIMO, Q BELLOS DE VERDAD VIVA LA SINFONICA DE JUVENTUD VENEZOLA Y VIVA UNA Y MIL VECES VENEZUELA!!! SOMOS LO MAXIMO, ESA LLUVIA DE FLORES SE VIO EXPECTACULAR!!! SIGAN ASI EXITOS Y BENDICIONES PARA TODOS!!!
This is the most invigorated performance of this peice I've ever seen! No wonder the Simon Bolivar, Venezuelan Youth and the Caracas youth were all asked straight off to play at La Scala, Milan!!!!
Amazing; a world-class symphony orchestra where the oldest person is (correct me if I'm wrong) 24 years old! This should be an inspiration both to youth and people overall, world-wide. Thank you for "The System" in general and Maestro Dudamel in particular and let's not forget José Antonio Abreu, the founder of Venezuela's "The System."

I'm crying with laughter. I've never seen so much fun at a classical music concert. I was overwhelmed with joy and vigor.
have u ever seen a crowd get this lit from an orchestra before like god bless venezuela
joycey joy I knowww!!!!
because the piece is not classical, its a very popular song in south america and for those who have watched west side story
@@anonumosGirl nah play this at Europe and the most lit reaction you’ll get is a bit of clapping with a gentle smile on their face
God bless You
I've never seen an orchestra performance where the audience could clap along and cheer this is beautiful!
In Latin or Spanish America that is possible.
this gives me goosebumps. a dream to play for an audience like that
Hola
this is what happens when pretentious classical musicians get their giant sticks out of their asses.
@@dansullivanstudios nah this is what happens when they never get one up there to begin with.
There is confetti in the tuba, I repeat CONFETTI IN THE TUBA
This is Venezuela...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

MarinaDeLuque
oh no!! D: that's awful!! wow, guess I was seriously misinformed!
+magneato Aye. Colombian here. Haven't been home in a decade, but from bits of news I've seen, their country was essentially falling under a fascist bastard. He died of cancer, I believe, but the country is still in turmoil from last I heard. Also, they been butting heads with us for a while, especially when that ugly mole was in charge.
I bet the orchestra members feel like a gazillion bucks. Such fervour, what colour, so much love!
I'm so jealous of this audience.
This is what humanity should be about, not wars, not fighting, but this.
Como pode uma orquestra animar tanto o público? Com o Gustavo Dudamel é claro !!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
This is so wonderful that a group of lovely young people from South America can play this incredibly passionate music written by a Jewish guy in new York 60 years ago and the joy in the audience of young people.

Hi! D'accord! Not having had the opportunity to see/hear these concerts live, it is wonderful to be able to enjoy them on my computer! ~H~
This experience moved me to tears of joy !!!!!!!
patricky9 OH MY GOD SAME, I LITERALLY CRIED
Saw a gif of this on tumblr. I just had to come & see this..
WHAT GIF?!? I WANT TO SEE SAID GIF.
_Of course_ Dudamel is the conductor. Of course.
They call him "The Dude". Of course.
No one calls him the "dude" except Anglos.
Epril SiDragøn ha! Totally. I thought that too. He is amazing!!
Last time I saw Dudamel conduct, my scream echoed over the entire Hollywood Bowl 😂
まさに「音を楽しむ」。
イイもの見せてもらいました。
日本人ですが凄くexcitingで楽しい演奏ですね
素晴らしいです
wonderful💃
Whenever I am feeling down, I watch this. It's among my favorites. Who canNOT smile and feel absolute JOY? It's among my favorite videos!
I have watched this every New Year's Eve for the last ten years. This gets me ready for the next onslaught.
Tumblr brought me here, I am not disappointed.
Same
Same here, tumblr friends
Sameeee hi fam
hi
Me too! I love this so much I put it on my playlist, though.
I'm late to the party, but I don't care... this is amazing. I've been listening to music since I was born, playing it since shortly thereafter, and I've never seen such a response from an audience at a symphony concert.

The fact that they can have so much fun and STILL sound this good is incredible!
Brav-frickin-o
This is one of my favourite clips of all times!!! I keep coming back to watch it.
FYI: Dudamel conducted the orchestra for Steven Spielberg's upcoming new version of "West Side Story"!
okay this level of excitement and audience participation is what i want to see in all orchestra halls! this was amazing
This is the only Mambo performance that's worth listening to!
I can only picture Lenny dancing along. He would absolutely love this. It is so Bernstein. It is everything he believed in.
es el mejor video de este famosisimo tema de Leonard Bernstein, la alegria del publico, los musicos, este si es un verdadero WWS Mambo. Viva Venezuela
This is what music is about.
@MicrobeObliteratorMo And it's not just the audience; what would you say about the average age of the musicians and don't forget, this is a "world-class" symphony orchestra!!
yes trumpet twirling

You can just feel the happiness radiating from here and it brings me great joy
The master Gustavo Dudamel, we are so proud of you...
A ESTO se le llama CARISMA, amigos míos. Orgullo venezolano, Maestro Dudamel!! Excelente interpretación.
This is SO incredible that it gives me goose bumps!!! Thank you for sharing such an uplifting and life-affirming energy in the world!!! Gracias!!!
Every year I come back to this video. The energy is unreal
the venezuelans know how to party
Yes we do..!!!!!
always😉
Next, the audience will divide into the Jets and the Sharks and DO the Mambo!
This is what music is supposed to be about. Having a great time. Bravo!
What a beautiful, beautiful moment in time. Gracias Venezuela!
I'm just shaking my head after this...this group is so phenomenal. I think I second, third, fourth, and a hundred and thirty-sixth the comment that there would've been nothing better than to have been there at that moment.
What an AWESOME rendition and crowd! Wow! So much fun. I would love to see more classical concerts like this!!! ❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁
I just LOVE the power of MUSIC!!! Look how happy everybody is!!!
verdaderamente increible. Amo la gente venezolana. Como quiciera estàr ahì en vivo! Saludos desde Monterrey, Mexico.
That was really exciting dudamel is a great conductor and knows how to bend a tempo to his favor and I love it go orchestra!
I've watched/listened to this maybe a dozen or more times. Cried. Laughed. Danced. Now I just released another subtle element. Watch the guy on timpani. He's playing timbales part on his kettle drums!
You think that is amazing, they played Royal Albert Hall 2007 BBC Proms. The most spectacular performance. Such incredible musicians. I could listen every day. Such joy from their conductor.
1:17
Best Solo
😂😂😂yes
😉👍
That's not every day that the tuba get a solo. Don't know if he stole it or not but this dude just took it all in ahah
Moments like this has gotten the attention of the music world. Certainly a good indicator for the LA Philharmonic, who snatched Dudamel up ASAP. And now legendary maestro John Williams has moved him to the fast track of being his musical heir apparent.
The simple joy of music, this is it. Bernstein would first laugh his ass off and then be proud beyond measure.
Solamente increíble, se e pone la piel de gallina al ver los comentarios...
Dudamel, gracias por traernos momentos de alegría, en lo que vivimos hoy en Venezuela.
Amazing, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, wish I'd been there.
すごすぎる！大好きです
Love your energy Caracas👍keep it up bravo Gustavo and the youth orchestra of venezula 🙌👏👏👏🌎🏆🎺💃💓💓

Dudamel and this Orchestra is a total testament of talent and a gift to the World!
真面目なクラシックも良いけどこう言うお客さんも演者も同じ熱量で楽しめる曲って本当に素晴らしいよな
それをまたオーケストラがやるのもギャップがあって素敵すぎる！
I like it.....from the bottom of my Indonesian heart....bravooo.......

Nice and good👍👍👍👍
派手さや動きに目が行くけど、さすが世界レベルのオーケストラ。演奏がうめぇ………
原曲のマンボも若さがほとばしる感じだからこのくらいはっちゃけていいと個人的には思ってる
"if you could time travel for 5 minutes and 7 seconds where would you go"

Incredible! I feel my heart is bursting with joy watching this.
Pero q barbaros !! excelene ambiente de fiesta de los hermanos venezolanos. Un apreciable saludo con alma llanera. Q viva la musica !!

This is such a great performance. The best!

He's the best thing to happen to the symphony in my country (or just about anywhere else) since Leopold Stokowski became the music director of The Philadelphia Orchestra in 1912.
@SatchmoSings -He is the best thing that has happened to classical music in many moons.TY U for posting.
The great genius in the audience, Maestro Abreu.
I cryyy :(((( They really make me cry.. Amazing music,amazing musicians ,Dudamel is magician .I go to Venezuela
Leonard Bernstein is smiling somewhere in the Elyssian fields of Heaven as this completely Latin audience thrills at his music! What a wonderful reaction.

Felicissimo Leonard Bernstein di questa suggestiva interpretazione di Dudamel con la Simon Bolivar!
This is the most invigorated performance of this peice I've ever seen! No wonder the Simon Bolivar, Venezuelan Youth and the Caracas youth were all asked straight off to play at La Scala, Milan!!!!
Great! BIEN POR MI COLEGA TUBISTA! VIVA VENEZUELA!
This cured my depression.
I wish I could be there!! Quite awesome!!
Amazing; a world-class symphony orchestra where the oldest person is (correct me if I'm wrong) 24 years old!
This should be an inspiration both to youth and people overall, world-wide.
Thank you for "The System" in general and Maestro Dudamel in particular and let's not forget José Antonio Abreu, the founder of Venezuela's "The System."
