The Los Angeles Philharmonic

Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic just got back from a whirlwind, 10-day concert tour to Venezuela, Dudamel's home country. By all accounts, the tour was a big success. In today's show, we'll hear a recording they made before their tour, a concert performance of Brahms' Second Symphony at Walt Disney Hall in Los Angeles.
