Abstract:
Gustavo Dudamel conducts symphonic pieces derived from Shakespeare as reimagined in music by Tchaikovsky. Unlike the Fantasy overture Romeo and Juliet and The Tempest, which are program pieces, Hamlet is more mysterious and less literal in the way its thematic material is developed. All three are luminously beautiful. In every case, Dudamel elicits the most appropriate interpretations imaginable from his electrifying Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra.
