Conductor Gustavo Dudamel might be only 33 years old, but he has worked with great orchestras and soloists around the world. And he says violinist Janine Jansen's interpretation of the Violin Concerto by Mendelssohn is among the best he's ever heard. On Monday's Performance Today, we'll Jansen perform that piece in concert in Los Angeles.
