Waldbühne 2014: A Midsummer Night – with Gustavo Dudamel

The young, charismatic conductor Gustavo Dudamel performs his second concert on Berlin's Waldbühne with the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2014. Celebrating the 450th birthday of William Shakespeare, the focus was on two works inspired by the bard's dramas: Tchaikovsky's Symphonic Fantasy "The Tempest" and the Fantasy Overture "Romeo and Juliet". Tchaikovsky's music is of particular importance to Dudamel because of its vivid tonal language, elemental in the conductor's work with the Venezuelan youth orchestras of El Sistema. Dudamel and the Berliner Philharmoniker complete the Programme with programme with Brahms's First Symphony.
