The Austrians are obsessed with poisoning each other. The Hungarians spend all their time figuring out their national identity. The Poles are severely depressed. The Russians are more mythical creatures than human beings. The Germans are psychedelic. The Italians only care about eating and gambling and hasn't got a single care for God. The Spanish and Swiss dissolve into other populations. The Brits are so isolated it's like before the invention of boats. The Czechs are non-existent.
The only hope for Western music history lies in the Frenchmen. They are like the glue to Europe's broken pieces. We can never thank them enough.

Gustavo Dudamel - Márquez: Danzón No. 2 (Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar, BBC Proms)
#THIS performance was the one that 1) brought dudamel and OSSB/SBYO into the public eye and#2) set danzon. no 2 out as a standard for youth orchestra despite being an INCREDIBLY young piece (composed in 1993? I think.)#also DAMN those strings just keep GOING. THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM

the 2nd movement is generally my least favorite (nothing wrong with it!! i just like the others more!!) but the oboe duet was just *MWAH!!* fantastic. the oboists were so in-sync it felt like 2 oboes being played at once by the same person.

wagner-tuba was a little odd and didn't blend great with the rest of the brass, but it's just a weird instrument. not the performer's fault.

okokok. first of all dudamel did the whole piece from MEMORY. THERE WAS NO DAMN CONDUCTOR STAND HE JUST MEMORIZED ALL OF MAHLER 7. ALL THE CUES? MEMORIZED. DYNAMICS/STYLISTIC STUFF?? MEMORIZED. HIS PERSONAL ARTISTIC DECISIONS??? MEMORIZED. WHAT THE HELL.
#we will not tolerate any gustavo dudamel slander on this blog because that man is an insane genius
