Dudamel and the Vienna Philharmonic

Gustavo Dudamel is not spending all his time in Los Angeles these days. Here he is with the Vienna Philharmonic at the 2010 Lucerne Festival playing Rossini's La Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie) Overture. Fine playing from the VPO and very restrained conducting by Dudamel. Remember, however, that Dudamel is an Abbado protegee. Note also that this concert was being given in the hall where Abbado annually works his magic with the Lucerne Festival Overture.
