Swept Away
If Gustavo Dudamel was running on fumes the night he and the Los Angeles Philharmonic played Beethoven's Seventh Symphony in London, no one could tell. He and the L.A. Phil had stayed up late the night before, celebrating his 30th birthday. And they went on to deliver a dynamite performance of the Beethoven. One critic called it "electrifying, impossible not to be swept away." We'll hear that post-birthday performance from London in today's show.
