and their hiring decision is probably not sitting well with the universe of youngish conductors out there. A 26 year old is the best they could find...for Los Angeles no less?Here's a quote:
"Dudamel had never stood before a professional orchestra before taking part in a conducting competition sponsored by the Bamberg Symphony in Germany three years ago."
Good to give the kid an opportunity. I'm positive he's a better conductor than most just to have been considered. Still...it's an odd decision (IMO), based on inexperience alone. Even if his artistic and interpretive capabilities are very strong (they can't possibly be called great...he's got no track record), there's the fundraising and administration and public relations, along with the acceptance of the orchestra members themselves. So, it's an odd decision, but brave in an offbeat way.
