In October 2014 Gustavo Dudamel and the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela recorded in Caracas live symphonic extracts from Wagner’s operas. The extracts make up part of the programme of their 2015 tour, which will take place in major concert halls across Europe. Out of the freshness and youthful enthusiasm that marks the recording, the idea was born to turn it into an album.
The young musicians and their conductor portray the grandeur of this monumental work without the help of voices, only using their instruments. With spontaneity and without any prejudice, the orchestra treads a fine line between being closely intimate and an incredibly energetic, propelled by the pleasure of creating music and sharing it with as many people as possible.
Describing the importance of Wagner in his musical life, Dudamel stated: “The same way Wagner transformed music, his music transformed my life and that of my orchestra. Thus it’s very special for us to play his music.”
