Thanks for posting this!! I saw the Dallas Premiere of this in December 2019 (conductor Fabio Luisi) and was blown away by the performance! Seeing this live puts a whole different level of energy on it for sure! Julia Wolfe says: "People have searched for the fountain of youth for thousands of years. The thought was that if you bathed in or drank from the fountain of youth you would be transformed, rejuvenated. My fountain of youth is music, and in this case I offer the orchestra a sassy, rhythmic, high energy swim." She sure does!! Side note: Wolfe was born Dec. 18, 1958 in Philadelphia, not 1959 :)
@RaoulDuke6666 wow, talk about out of left field! I have no knowledge of her political views nor do I care. I don't know about HER being "hateful" but you seem to have a firm grasp of the emotion. Seek help.
My daughter and I also saw Luisi conduct the DSO in January 2020, and we were just blown away but the complexity and utter intensity of this piece. Hearing a recording of it is nothing like hearing it in person.
I can’t think of a single composer who’s won the Pulitzer Prize within the past ten or fifteen years whose music speaks to me (and I’ve listened to works by all of them). What happened to the award being given to such pieces as “Appalachian Spring”, Barber’s Piano Concerto, Toch’s Symphony No. 3, or Morton Gould’s “Stringmusic”? What an era of barren creativity we’re in.
A 1/4 bar Lennon-McCarney is 400.000 more valuable then this piece. But they say, this music is great….see how they go wow wow wow and they scream like adolescents
Never criticize a conductor! Conductors are always good. Even if you never hear anything from them. They are good. Just dont forget that. Say always, oh, great conductor!!!
Magnificent performance and magnificent conductor.

@RaoulDuke6666 A bigoted troll, aren't you? An ignorant parrot (apologies to parrots), led by the nose by the likes of Boris Johnson.

Splendid. Thank you for programming this.

2 or 3 minutes of washboard is plenty

Detroit has had their brain fried if they believe this video is capable of being called music!!!!😂😂😂
the conductor is so odd, what is wrong with her?
There's nothing wrong with her at all. She is concentrating.

Why, she's Lydia Tár, and this took place just a few months before the scandal that really sent her off the podium of the Berlin Phil.
THE SAME OLD 1960'S CRAP
