Gustavo Dudamel:

Antonin Dvorak - Symphonies Nos. 7-9 w/LA Phil

Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic garnered rave reviews for their performances of Antonín Dvorák’s masterful final three symphonies in February 2020. Hailed as “a revelation” by the Los Angeles Times, their interpretations were recorded live at Walt Disney Concert Hall by Deutsche Grammophon for release as a digital album – the follow-up to the artists’ GRAMMY® Award-winning recording of Mahler’s Symphony No. 8. Out on 29 July 2022, and also available in Dolby Atmos®, Antonín Dvorák: Symphonies Nos. 7 – 9 captures the power and intensity of Dudamel’s vision of three of the greatest works in the symphonic repertoire.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Music & Artistic Director amplifies the turbulent emotions of each work and plunges deep into their often-dark inner worlds, connecting with the music’s spiritual roots in Dvorák’s Czech homeland and reflecting ideas formed during the composer’s time as Director of the National Conservatory of Music of America in New York City.
“Working with my orchestra on Dvorák’s late symphonies was a unique and deeply moving experience, and these three performances are an important addition to our growing catalogue,” comments Dudamel. “I’m grateful to Deutsche Grammophon for recording us with such enthusiasm and sensitivity, and for taking the music we make in Los Angeles and sharing it around the world.”

Mahler Symphony #8 w/Los Angeles Philharmonic

Gustav Mahler's mighty Eighth Symphony spans a universe of emotions, channelled through everything from passages of intimate reflection to overwhelming outbursts of choral and orchestral sound. This extraordinary work can now be heard in a revelatory interpretation from Gustavo Dudamel, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, massed choirs and a masterful assembly of solo voices, recorded live at Walt Disney Concert Hall (30/31 May & 2 June 2019). Released today, June 8, 2021, Gustav Mahler – Symphony No. 8 documents a landmark performance that brought the LA Phil's centennial season to a triumphant conclusion in 2019.

Charles Ives - Complete Symphonies

Deutsche Grammophon releases Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic's performances of the complete Charles Ives symphony cycle. Called "a revelation" by the Los Angeles Times, the rarely heard symphony cycle was recorded in early 2020 as part of the LA Phil's Dvořák and Ives festival.

Celebrating John Williams w/LA Philharmonic

The prestigious Los Angeles Philharmonic, led by Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel, and Deutsche Grammophon, the world's leading classical music label, are set to extend their long history of making music together. They will now build on a relationship that has already produced benchmark recordings of works by Mahler and John Adams, among others, and seen orchestra and conductor play key roles in the visionary "DG Concerts" initiative, which allowed music-lovers rapid virtual access to live LA Phil concerts. 

Upcoming releases on Deutsche Grammophon will include a tribute to multi-award-winning film composer John Williams and, as the LA Phil marks its centenary season, a commemorative limited-edition box set entitled LA PHIL – 100 YEARS, which will encompass many of the most significant performances given by the orchestra over the decades. As a prelude to this renewed cooperation, in November 2018 DG released the LA Phil and Dudamel's new reading of the complete score of Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker to widespread acclaim, with Gramophone hailing the orchestra's "fabulous" playing and The New York Times calling the album a "joyously vibrant recording".

Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker w/LA. Philharmonic

The Christmas ballet by Tchaikovsky that needs no introduction is brought to life in its entirety by Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Featuring beloved pieces such as the "Waltz of the Snowflakes" and the "Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy," this new recording of The Nutcracker is the first in Deutsche Grammophon's new partnership with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Dudamel.     

Gustavo Dudamel:

Mahler 7

It was his achievement at the 2003 Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition in Bamberg that catapulted Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel to international stardom, and the music of Mahler has remained central not only to his repertoire, but to his entire musical philosophy. Now, Dudamel resumes his survey of the Mahler symphonies with Mahler 7, now available on Deutsche Grammophon. Recorded with the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, the 7th is a "symphony of everything", says Dudamel, "from chaos to glory, sarcasm to tenderness, from a funeral march to a seductive tango. It is a cosmic symphony of perfect construction and galactic emotional scope."

Gustavo Dudamel:

The Liberator

World renowned conductor Gustavo Dudamel's first-ever original musical composition for the screen, THE LIBERATOR-Libertador brings immediacy and passion to the life story of one of history's great men. The timeless story of a people's struggle for independence is brought to sumptuous life in THE LIBERATOR. Dudamel, who consulted with film score master John Williams in the preparations for writing the music, describes his score as "atmospheric, post-Mahlerian music, full of tension, hope and struggle." The Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra and guests from the world of Venezuelan folk music lend the score a distinctive Latin American flavor.  On July 31st. The Suite from Libertador will have its world premiere at the Hollywood Bowl, under the baton of Dudamel himself with the LA Philharmonic.
