A Message from Dr. Teodoro Hernandez of Venezuala

Teodoro Hernandez May 4 at 9:12am
How to explain the phenomenon worldwide Dudamel? What is different about this young contemporary with other great musicians? .. Which is what makes Simon Rattle say that Gustavo Dudamel is the most exceptional musician he has ever known? .. And not just him, but a shared approach by people like Daniel Barenboim, Abbado, etc, etc.
Most great leaders achieve a sensible intercomunication with musicians from what they consider to be interpreted how a particular piece of music, but very few achieve that communication to reach large audiences, but few people .- Most of the audience is left admiring the performance but not "living it", not understanding what the author meant when he created the symphony or music.
Gustavo Dudamel has the unique gift of not only musicians make their living and "understand" what you interpret it that 100% of the audience to experience vividly the musical language of the author and the experiences that this was when he created the music. This is what is unique about this Venezuelan conductor .- Some say it's charisma, passion, electricity, well, many things, but the reality is that I just said.
Any newcomer to music can have that experience independent of age have and the degree of musical knowledge they possess. You live a "Dudamel experience" and be sure to never forget.
Classical music is not easy to get it to everybody, but Gustavo Dudamel succeeds, and this is what explains this DUDAMELMANIA .-
I compare it like when you go to see what is displayed in the windows of the shopping centers .- You can see the beauty of what is displayed, but another different experience is when you "own" what is displayed. Dudamel makes you own what the orchestra plays.
If you doubt this, ask anyone who attended the concert of the BBC PROMS 2007, or read your comments on the BBC website 100% .- There was mesmerized by the experience of Dudamel conducting the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra.
If you have a chance to attend any of his concerts, do not miss it, is a unique experience in your life, then live it, re-read what I write and tell me whether or not I have reason.
