DVD Reviews of The Promise of Music
DVD Review: Great documentary!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great documentary! I do recommend it to anyone interested in music. It shows how the Venezuelan system of child and youth orchestras promotes classical music among children, motivating and keeping them out of the streets. The system has yielded many professional musicians, playing in different top-level orchestras around the world. This is the case of Gustavo Dudamel, who is now musical director and conductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Los Angeles. Fun to watch and touching.
Excelente documental! Lo recomiendo a cualquiera que esté interesado en la música. Muestra cómo el sistema de orquestas infantiles y juveniles de Venezuela promueve la música clásica entre niños y jóvenes, motivándolos y manteniéndolos fuera de las calles. El sistema ha producido muchos músicos profesionales, algunos de los cuales tocan en orquestas de alto nivel alrededor del mundo. Es el caso de Gustavo Dudamel, quien es ahora el director musical de la Orquesta Filarmónica de los Angeles. Divertido y conmovedor.
Description of The Promise of Music
The Promise of Music is a full-length feature film about the story of Gustavo Dudamel and the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela. The film documents Dudamel preparing his orchestra in Caracas for their upcoming concert at the Beethovenfest in Bonn, 2007. Following different young musicians in their day-to-day lives, the film shows how classical music has the capability of changing both the individual and their environment. Director Enrique Sanchez Lansch previously created the award-winning documentary Rhythm Is It! about Sir Simon Rattle's education project with the Berliner Philharmoniker, and now he turns his attention to classical music's hottest young star. A unique and deeply moving look behind the scenes of one of the most talked about phenomena in the musical world of today! Dudamel tours the US with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in November and returns with the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela in April, 2009.Classical Music CDs
