Gustavo Dudamel rehearses "The Firebird" suite with the Los Angeles Philharmonic

[@MissTEO1]

This is soooo much better than a concert. I’d buy a ticket to every rehearsal!

[@kellybaconflute]

You actually can at many orchestras, I watched San Francisco symphony rehearse Beethoven 9 it was awesomeeeee

[@HillaryLinnea]

I agree !! I love the creative process… to be able to see what goes into building a beautiful final performance is really amazing !!! I love hearing him talk through it. Dudamel is brilliant!

[@Jennifer-xv7nx]

Me too!!! Used to play in orchestras (violin).... ADORE the rehearsal and creative process!

[@meepicoffeee]

I agree a lot, it's interesting to see how differences are between orchestras rehearsing depending on the conductor, so entertaining and fun at times :)

[@jaeuchoi9948]

I agree too, and even in this short film he makes dynamics and dramatic sounds. OMG..

[@chelseatipton8968]

This is great! Please post more excerpts from the orchestra rehearsals. Fascinating to see and hear the process. And it was great to see that even the Maestro makes a mistake when he cued (and he acknowledged the mistake in the rehearsal) the trombone gliss early. This is not a criticism at all; he is human like the rest of us. Please post more. I am a HUGE Dudamel fan!

[@YSUBandandOrchestra]

Agreed, seeing the process is so enlightening!

[@MorganBallardWheeler]

Agreed Maestro Tipton!

[@S0ngsyngr]

Yes! Excellent to see his interaction language & expression with them!

[@hueminglee7062]

He was in Houston,and I live in Houston 39years

[@aileenteo7027]

Me, too! I love the rehearsals. I love to watch Dudamel rehearse.

[@will.sagastume]

It is such a pleasure to see how much joy Dudamel displays while experiencing the music. And the music itself, so moving!

It's also very childish.

Who says music needs to be taken so seriously all the time? It's honestly really refreshing to see and feel a youthful energy.@@nonenoneonenonenone

[@efraimdias3763]

1:35 trombone FUAAAAWWONN... Conductor says Less Forte! 5:20 trombone BRAVO! Just, BRAVO!

[@Mrmidtown1]

He did play it differently and followed the current pattern... but yes, when it comes to primo brass excerpts/features in orchestral reps.. we know what to do. This is one of those hilarious lines all my Trombone buddies were always hoping to play one day in a professional group.

[@composerguy1437]

A superhuman conductor with one of the greatest orchestras on the planet. What's not to love here?

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

That is not superhuman. You just want him to be….some psychological need. A completely anachronic view of conductors. 90% of them nowadays are mediocre cheaters. Dudamel is not, of course, but SUPERHUMAN….?

[@psicologoarthurceratti]

🤔

[@wwbdwwbd]

One of the greatest orchestras in the world? Show me your cabinet full of participation trophies.

[@composerguy1437]

It's the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. Yes, one of the greatest orchestras in the world. @@wwbdwwbd

[@needtoknowbasis3499]

nope. visit the past and become wiser.

[@marfelgonzalez1350]

It's a poem the master Dudamel, "excelsior" is the Word come my brain when listening his music

[@avokazan1]

Gustavo is the best.

[@jgassman]

"Grazioso! GRAZIOSO!!!" Love it!

[@NotExactlyRomeo]

To use a sports analogy, the conductor is like the “head coach” of the orchestra. He may not be doing the actual playing but he has an enormous impact on the outcome of the game (concert).

[@pleasedyes]

The musicians have to do their best to play with everything they’ve got, but they are playing to the conductor’s will and interpretation - that decides so much in the end

[@SPrescott2611]

Even Dudamel is human! The apology after the mis-cue... great to see. This is why I love rehearsal footage

[@SamirAbadeer]

Dudamel is still the most charismatic and to watch him in a rehearsal is more fascinating than in a concert 🎵 preparing Beethoven or Stravinsky he’s Amazing even with such gray hairs ⭐️

[@roydl8536]

You have that right, but also let’s not forget Benjamin Zander

[@saulvillicana292]

He was only 26 when he became the LA Phil Director. It has been a tremendous honor and pleasure to see the work and ground breaking programs he's brought to LA. NY Phil is very fortunate and he will be hard to replace.

[@lvtuba]

I love how his nose isn't stuck in the score and his conducting is both fun to watch and easy to follow

[@SSAviation737]

Love it

[@LeandroSilva-zv7se]

This video is so gorgeous! I understand nothing about philarmonic and that orchestra's world, but Mr. Dudamel sounds me like a magician, a wizard of the baton. His work is fun at the same time his aura is so strong and impressive. Thank you for post this video. I would like to see more rehearsal videos. At last, I'm Brazilian, so proud about the fact by Mr. Dudamel is latin american, from Venezuela.

[@Fabricek]

Oooooooo, maravilloso!

[@petermcdonald384]

Wow a real personality. Classical music needs people like this. We need to keep this art alive for the next generation and this guy will hopefully be helping. Bravo!

[@voortigaunt]

Gustavo es un director increíble, orgullo que sea latino

[@pjkorab]

Omg I love how giddy he is, the orchestras must love this brand of enthusiasm from a conductor!

[@Zubba67]

What an engaging and dynamic maestro. I can only imagine how much his orchestra enjoys working with him.

[@CarolColeLewis]

What an absolute joy to watch! I would love to be a performer under the exceptional baton of Dudamel!

[@eberlinschwinn5634]

This is awesome. As someone who has sung with symphony orchestras, the public rarely gets to see what a rehearsal is like. Thanks for sharing this. Dudamel is so dynamic. What a complete thrill it would be to be on stage with him.

[@wolfgangresch1650]

You can hear the section learning what he wants. No reacting to each phrase, but everything in a smooth arc. OUTSTANDING 🏆🏆🏆🏆♥️

[@JuanitaHarrisMissHarrisinParis]

it makes me miss orchestral rehearsals. Granted, I was never in a professional orchestra, but this is how they all go. Technical rehearsals, conductor stories, the whole bit.

[@goganikolaevi4]

Wow! The man who really loves music. Emotioman

[@TiqueO6]

Wonderful insight into his process at 2:58 seems to really bring it back to some of the excitement and his roots helping to bring back excitement for music into the symphony Orchestra

[@javachef828]

Just watching Dudamel, I don't need the score; I can see how every part comes together, and I can very clearly get my cues! A good conductor precludes the musician's need for written music

[@Audra1964]

Who couldn’t love a conductor who calls his orchestra My Dears. ❤

[@fingerhorn4]

Actually that phrase is stolen from Stravinsky himself who used it liberally when taking rehearsals of his own music.

[@ThomasCBooth]

He’s so brilliant and fascinating and inspiring and fun

[@kaiyuanwu8903]

Please do more rehearsal videos! Really insightful and fun

[@smurf902]

It's wonderful to hear the difference he made in just one small section. Conductors really shape how their interpretations sound!

[@JBrm]

Friendly, positive, creative, motivating, passionate - simply professional. Senior Dudamel is an amazing condcutor!

[@solpartha]

This is the best content! These rehearsal excerpts are always engaging to watch and bring so much insight to the music.

[@resitupfer7950]

We had Karajan, we had sleepy feet. Dudamel is crazy, but Dudamel is music in the flesh. This conductor cannot be anything other than what he is. And when he conducts a polyrhythm it tears him into a thousand pieces. Then it flows together again and continues with a largo. Then he goes for a beer and is happy! That is music. Warm greetings from Austria, the land of Mozart and not Australia, the land of hopping kangaroos.

[@roslianytirado3504]

Excelente Gustavo! Excepcional as always!

[@brynjarhoff-lr6hw]

OLA! I have seen many conductors in rehearses,this is one of the best regarding giving inspirasion with a smile. Not many did and does that….for orchestra it must be like beeing in the sun..

[@63Anul]

Dudamel's strong point will always be conducting orchestras of teenage musicians. It's amazing how the orchestra changes when he asks them to play as if they were sixteen years old.

[@orly1950]

You could actually hear the difference! Crazy!

[@mayrafuenmayor3602]

Genio!!❤🇻🇪

[@SCReaperPyro]

It is an honor to see the master at work, so much talent in one room. Thank you!

[@jamesraymond1158]

Rehearsals show so much more. I love the way he pulled down the trombone with his arm.

[@daviddas]

Wonderful to see the rehearsal process. Would love to see this more often.

[@icecoldbeverage3843]

Mesmerized by Dudamel and the LA Philharmonic! I love all the rehearsal videos. Can we get more camera time for the phenomenal musicians though? Their skill is captivating!

[@olliemartinelli4034]

Such an outrageously good piece of music. I saw the firebird sweet live at the proms and it was one of my favourite ever musical experiences

[@tedl7538]

That would be "suite" (like a great penthouse hotel accommodation) 🎵

[@brucehayes7039]

How can I put this … during my Piano tuning days at Concert halls I always stayed on for rehearsals which I enjoyed as much as the compleat concert on the night, if not more !

[@gabriellechung356]

Pure genius. What a joy to watch!

[@diegovazquez1818]

[@cvoelter]

Stunning, makes me tremble to see such talent and devotion to craft working in concert with one another under the guidance of Dudamel, powerful stuff.

[@LouisPereraPianistConductor]

Incredible clarity from the LA Phil!

[@PEPETUB]

Fantástico, maestro. Qué ganas de volver a escucharle en Barcelona. Asistir a un ensayo así es una maravilla. Muchas gracias por el arte.

[@daveenyart]

The orchestra really responds to him.....possibly because he is having so much fun.

[@tromba1592]

So great! Maestro tries to get the best performance out of all in a respectful and cordial way. Master musician and conductor.

Never saw him before; amazing conductor and interpreter of Stravinsky!

[@MarcoNierop]

Oh man, this is so inspirational.... It must be so much fun to be able to play like that in such a wonderful orchestra with such an inspirational conductor and nothing but masters of musicians all around you. It looks like very much fun, and it possibly is, but this is a hell of a piece to play! Upmost respect for everybody in this video! I love how Dudamel gives a thumbs up every time a section nails a passage, like the Trombone glisando's! This was such an enjoyable video to watch and listen! More of this please!

[@SV-q9k]

Me encantan los ensayos de Dudamel son fantásticos!!! increíble y desbordante pasión. Gracias por compartir

He is brilliant, I love his work, he makes this more interesting, entertaining, I love Dudamel, as same as Benjamin Zander, with Boston Philharmonic ❤❤❤
