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

    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!

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

    A superhuman conductor with one of the greatest orchestras on the planet. What's not to love here?
  • @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.
  • @pjkorab
    Omg I love how giddy he is, the orchestras must love this brand of enthusiasm from a conductor! <3

    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!

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

    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.

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

    This video is so gorgeous! I understand nothing about philarmonic and that orchestra's world, but Mr. Dudamel souns 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.
