Is the current Pope a fan of Classical Music in concert?
The concert program, in part selected by the music-loving Pontiff himself, brings together two of classical music’s brightest young stars for their first joint appearance– American violinist Hilary Hahn and the young Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel, who was recently appointed Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Mozart’s sparkling G major Violin Concerto and DvorˇÃ¡k’s stirring “New World” Symphony are two of classical music’s best-loved masterpieces, neither of which had been recorded before by these artists. Their performances here received high critical acclaim in the press. Sources: http://astore.amazon.
