now a well known signature of the SBYOV as is the blistering energy and exuberance with which they perform these pieces Gustavo Dudamel the still-not-30 Venezuelan conductor is living up to his hype After a couple of remarkably successful recordings of music by Mahler and Beethoven he and his Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela now turn their attention to music of Latin America with a bow to Leonard Bernstein s Mambo from em West Side Story / em and the result is absolutely joyful The emphasis as you might guess is on dance and rhythm although there are some introspective moments as well Revueltas angular somewhat sinister Sensemay fascinates while Estevez Mediodia en el Liano is like a poem to Venezuelan nature Danzon no 2 begins in a relaxed reflective manner but composer Arturo Marquez surprises with growing passionate dance rhythms This isn t a dance party CD its a collection of infectious exciting energetic pieces that happen to be dances as well Dudamel s SBYO obviously love this music and offer it up in sizzling performances Some of this music was written for festivals and you can feel the enthusiasm Bernsteins Mambo will in fact make you want to mambo you can practically see the orchestra members dancing In short this recording is unique and vastly entertaining -- Robert LevineThe Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe Denon Records Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker (Complete); Swan Lake Suite Artemis Records Joy to the World -
