Gustavo Dudamel Visits New York With Promise, and a Warning
Briefly

"Home is a slippery concept in classical music, a global art form of constant travel and jobs that require relocating for months or years at a time."
"In a recent interview with The Los Angeles Times, he said that he would always think of his native Venezuela as home. And, after 15 years of leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Southern California is home, too"
"He led the Los Angeles Philharmonic in concerts that reflected his gift for must-hear programming and his open-minded disregard for genre, his welcome belief that at a high enough level, all music can be art."
"But Dudamel is not without his weaknesses. While he can be brilliant off the beaten path, he is less distinct and perceptive in the classics."
