The SBSO Plays Mahler
When Gustavo Dudamel and the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela made their BBC Proms debut in 2007, they blew the roof off the Royal Albert Hall in London with a program of Latin music. They came back to the Proms this year, a little more mature (they no longer call themselves a youth orchestra). But the SBSO can still pack a punch. We'll hear their sold-out performance of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony, from a concert three weeks ago in London.
