Berlin Philharmonic - Gala Concert 2010

Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel is given the special honour of presiding over the Berliner Philharmoniker's New Year's Eve Gala Concert in 2010 – a role typically reserved for the orchestra's Chief Conductor. Together with the mezzo soprano Elīna Garanča he and the orchestra present an enthralling concert which takes on an increasingly Spanish and Latin American flavour as it progresses. The programme includes works by Berlioz and Saint-Saëns to Bizet and de Falla, with Garanča showcasing operatic roles that she has made her own.
