About the concert
For several years now, Gustavo Dudamel and the young musicians from the Venezuelan youth
orchestra "Simón Bolívar" have been causing a furor on the international music scene. More than
anything else, it is they who have earned the Venezuelan orchestra system respect around the
world: 30 years ago, the conductor, composer and economist José Antonio Abreu had the vision
of combining social work and classical music. Abreu's goal was to tear down elitist structures in
music education and make music a fundamental right of all the country's children.

Sencillamente espectacular, como siempre la orquesta y Dudamel nos deleitan. Una dupla inigualable.

The apotheosis and the destruction of the classical Viennese Waltz. What a statement by Ravel. Memorable.

[@lagunagreg4019]

I don't think it's the destruction of anything. Rather, it's the culmination of the form in a very French way.

[@josue5888]

​@@lagunagreg4019it is a conceptual piece, the destruction of a Viennese Waltz. Ravel himself confirmed it. That's why at the end you hear 4/4.

[@lagunagreg4019]

@@josue5888 - it might well be. But like everything else he wrote, it is full of Gallic wit and polish. Very little destruction in it. The 4/4 at the end is lost on the listener. if we are looking at it from that standpoint, it is a failure, and I'm glad it is.

@josue5888 and @lagunagreg4019 idc what it is it’s an amazing piece 😂

[@kata9553]

Verdaderamente hermoso.......... Bravo

[@pierreguinot9238]

Immensément bravo à ce jeune orchestre. Cette valse diabolique est peut-etre la dernière possible, Ravel l'a écrite en pleine guerre mondiale (la première) et après la mort de sa mère je crois. C'est l'enterrement du XIXe siècle. Si j'avais été réalisateur : sans hésiter, musique pour Titanic.

Very elegant ❤

[@saeedabdur-rahman5691]

Ahhh

[@Jupiter-T]

I've been a fan of this Ravel piece ever since I first heard it, and Dudamel embodies to the orchestra here the way the waltz descends (or ascends?) into madness.

[@SeadogDriftwood]

Terrifying. Perfectly characterized. Dudamel is a musical marvel.

[@user-qm5bd3jm1y]

지휘자 좀 이상해
