When Gustavo Dudamel conducts, it's like his body is inhabited by the music; his physical expression of the music often has a energizing effect on the orchestra and the audience. Coming up on this weekend's Performance Today, Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic play Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in London.
