Gustavo Dudamel

Charles Ives: Complete Symphonies (2CD)

New album of critically acclaimed live performances recorded at Walt Disney Concert Hall, February 2020.

“The most significant takeaway from Gustavo Dudamel's cycle of Charles Ives’s four symphonies with the Los Angeles Philharmonic is this: he is one helluva fine Ives conductor.” San Francisco Classical Voice

Dudamel’s readings of the symphonies grow from his delight in their restless energy, myriad colors and textures, irresistible references to popular American melodies and impulsive changes of mood.
