More Details on Fiesta!
Fresh from the triumph of their 2007 Prom appearance, this is 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’ 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.
“I am not sure anything quite like Gustavo Dudamel and his extraordinary group of young musicians have ever hit the Proms before. Whatever you have read about the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra can't convey the brilliance and disarming exuberance of their playing” - Andrew Clements, The Guardian
