ARTISTS Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela
TRACK LISTING REVUELTAS: Sensemayá (Mexico) The album everyone has been waiting for! Gustavo Dudamel and his Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela have stunned audiences worldwide with their explosive Latin-American showpieces; now they bring this repertoire into the recording studio. A unique album: no other conductor or orchestra in the world could deliver a recording like this. Passion and excitement are guaranteed! The recording captures the excitement of the live experience, juxtaposing contrasting showpieces such as the Stravinsky-like rhythmic drive of Revueltas’s Sensemaya, the expansive lusciousness of Danzón No. 2 by Marquez and the vibrant ballet suite Estancia by Ginastera. The moment when the musicians are revealed dressed in their national colours has become the signature of the SBYOV, as is the blistering energy and exuberance with which they perform these pieces.

Birgit Nilsson, soprano
TRACK LISTING WAGNER: Prelude (Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg)
One of the most famous nights in Australian music occurred in September 1973 when Sir Charles Mackerras conducted the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in the first concert to be staged in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House. In front of a packed, emotion-charged house, the great Australian conductor made a triumphant homecoming in an all-Wagner concert that sent the critics searching for superlatives. Now for the first time, ABC Classics is releasing the entire concert on CD. Featuring the greatest Wagnerian soprano of the twentieth century, Birgit Nilsson, as soloist, the concert provided an electrifying opening for the iconic building. Thirty-five years on, the excitement remains palpable and Mackerras’ ability to bring out the best in the Orchestra of which he himself had once been a member remains awe-inspiring. Included in this Australian Masters package is a bonus DVD featuring television footage of the concert’s second half. A priceless memento of a great day in Australian music, it captures two master-artists at the height of their creative powers with an orchestra playing at its peak. |
