A Controlled Burn
Putting conductor Gustavo Dudamel in front of the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela is a bit like throwing a lit match onto a powder keg. The results are almost always explosive. But it's a superbly controlled burn. Dudamel and the SBSO gave a fiery concert of Latin American music at Carnegie Hall in New York recently. We'll hear highlights in today's show, including Carlos Chavez'"Sinfonia India."
