" American in Paris"  George Gershwins orchestral masterpiece given the best performance I have ever heard. The Venezuelan conductor, Gustavo Dudamel, hs such an emotional affinity for the music that he inspires the orchestra to literally 'blow their brains out." This piece really captured the essential buoyancy and uninhibited joy of the American zeitgeist.
Musicologist Robert Kaufman, a former brass instrumentalist was also enthralled by the spirited authenticity of Dudamel's interpretation,especially by the trombone and French Horn sections.
