I am sure that you are not only going to do a great job as conductor of the orchestra but that you are going to do a great job as you did with the children and youth in Los Ángeles. I love you, Gustavo. God bless you.
"A dream come true, but it has been very natural, in a way".. The words of a great maestro. I'm not the biggest fan of Gustavo, but I wish him the best with the NY Phil. This is how orchestras are transformed, how music evolves.
His passion, sincerity, joy, charisma, and understanding of the emotional aspect of music are the reasons the world fell in love with him as a conductor. I'm excited for what the NY Phil will do in the coming years.
I am so happy he is arriving to a hall that is acoustically superb. That bad acoustic plagued the NY Phil for decades. The new halls in so many cities like Dallas, Kansas City, Philadelphia, and LA have totally elevated the playing of those orchestras. Dudamel is being handed a Rolls Royce orchestra and Hall. LA Phil will find someone fantastic to succeed Gustavo I am sure.
Our loss in LA will be New York's gain. Hopefully, he can do similar youth outreaches in New York like he did in Caracas and LA. That is his greatest gift.
Interesting! A new era, but with some significant questions: 1.-Will the New York Philharmonic be performing in places other than Lincoln Center on the IRT #1 Subway 🚇Line, like other place in the New York City Subway 🚋🚇System, at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, or at Saint Patrick's Cathedral if permitted by Cardinal Timothy Dolan? 2.-Will Dudamel's appointment result in the Philharmonic going on a tour of New York State and what would his relationship be with both the Albany Symphony Orchestra with David Alan Miller and the Buffalo Philharmonic with JoAnn Faletta? 3.-Can Dudamel hold his own with the likes of Andris Nelsons with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Yannick Nezet-Seguin with the Philadelphia Orchestra/Metropolitan Opera? One can hope that New York City is heading for better times with the announcemdng of Gustavo Dudamel as Music Director of the New York Philharmonic and the arrival of the R211 Subway Cars for the Subway System!
I was hoping for a woman. There are so many talented women conductors out there and we could have been in the vanguard. Oh well! Lost opportunity. That said… It’s about the orchestra and the music. That’s why I subscribe and support the NY Philharmonic. So…..Welcome, Maestro! I’ll be happy to see a full house at every concert!
In the old days, young conductors apprenticed and learned their craft in provincial halls and orchestras (Karajan, Abbado, Muti, et al) Today, they learn the repertoire conducting big league orchestras before they're ready. Here in LA. I have suffered through 15 years of Dudamel's ear-splitting bombast and louder-and-faster music making. Only in recent few years has he matured somewhat (notably his Mahler symphonies). Good Riddance and Good Luck in New York. Maybe he can whip NY Phil into a world class ensemble. The 'Dudamel era' in NY is a work in progress like their newly renovated, still acoustically-challenged hall.
There is/was no artistic reason for Gustavo to leave the LAPhil: it’s the most vibrant and exciting show anywhere, especially at the Hollywood Bowl… and even when they were at Carnegie Hall here in NYC. Berlin’s Mahler7 a couple weeks later at Carnegie could barely reach the heights of the LAPhil Mahler1. The young audiences in LA actually embrace the new music and festivals Dudamel likes to program; the blue-hair NYPhil audiences & donors (& musicians?) hate it. Surely Borda found a rich chair sponsor to, no doubt, sponsor the “Gustavo Dudamel, the Exxon/Mobil Music Director” chair at $10million a year+. I doubt Liszt’s “Faust Symphony” will be his opening concert in NY in 2026. But now LA can go after Klaus Makela and upgrade.
Makela was chosen to be the new Concertgebouw chief conductor.. not very many exciting candidates out there. LA Phil will have a tough time finding a genuinely exciting new talent to fill the biggest hole since Bernstein.
@@youngwook96 True, but Makela can do both… The past 4-5 years Dudamel has been running LAPhil and Paris Opera at the same time, in the same way Yannick runs Phil Orch & Met Opera...
@@andrewsnow1933 Hrusa is terrific, and would have been a way better choice for the NYPhil; historically they have ONLY thrived under European task maskers. Remember folks like Bernstein (11 years), Gilbert (8 years), Jaap (5-6? lol) were booted out quickly, and Zubin Metha to this day ONLY conducts the LAPhil on this side of the Atlantic NEVER NYPhil. That should be a clear statement.
He has not ONE new idea about any piece. He is a mainstream musicians without any personality. I dont just say that. Do a blind test with his recordings…see if you can recognize any recording by him….
Very peculiar choice! Dudamel is a bad Abbado- imitation and an uninteresting conductor. The same mediocrity as was Gilbert. On the other hand v.Zweden never got a real chance from Borda to develop himself with the orchestra, but brought the discipline and precision back, which was lacking for a long time. It was a one way ticket to pull Dudamel away from the LAPO ( of course for a lot of pecuniae!) Unbelievable if one had in the recent past Maazel, Mehta or even Masur....
@@matteopaoli6103 you sound so 'ignoranti', like someone who has no knolledge about conducting or conductors at all and probably never listens to historical recordings!
You forgot about Bernstein. Gustavo said it himself: he's not putting himself in the same category as the former legends. It's all about the orchestra. I'm not the biggest fan of Gustavo, but we have to recognize something: he wasn't educated in music; he grew up inside music. He hasn't learned music, music has been his life.
As a LA Phil subscriber, I must say, you New Yorkers are in for a treat and then some.
Keep up be strong everybody, loving music is our salvation and fans from home are always here to backup you guys
I shall never forget his work with children.......and look forward to what he brings to NYC and the metropolitan area.
I am sure that you are not only going to do a great job as conductor of the orchestra but that you are going to do a great job as you did with the children and youth in Los Ángeles. I love you, Gustavo. God bless you.

The Dudamel era began and we are very happy !
From when Dudamel was a youngster, I've felt his destiny should lead to the NY Philharmonic. I hope it is a long and happy relationship.
Our loss in LA will be New York's gain. Hopefully, he can do similar youth outreaches in New York like he did in Caracas and LA. That is his greatest gift.
A remarkable man wish him the best.
Wishes dont help in art….can you imagine wishing John Coltrane good luck with the Miles Davis Quintet….?
Ridiculous.
What an opportunity for Gustavo to conduct the New York Philharmonic that was so brilliantly blossomed by the late great Leonard Bernstein
Ótimo !!! Continuarei a admira-lo !!!!!❤
Grande Gustavo
Wonderful musician, let's see what happens.
As a long time LA Phil subscriber I am so sad that he is leaving, so sad.
Same! 😢
I wish him weel. The NYPhil has a way of limiting composers. They do well wen they leave.
Passion for music, science and humor determines a person's IQ
Interesting!

Hear the hair!
Haters are everywhere. I wonder why all that severe criticism. It seems like Dudamel would have harm you.
Never has music helped any social transformation….but sounds nice to say such nice things….
what exactly do you gain by spending your time trolling?
@@Jupiter-T same as you, I guess, Yuppieter.
@@leonardoiglesias2394 How am I trolling?
yet another person (wisely) fleeing California
Anbilibabol.
What do you do if you are an atheist…..? Cant make any music….says Dudamel.
