YouTube of Shostakovich 10 with Gustavo Dudamel & Simón Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela

Tonight I ran across this clip on YouTube of Gustavo Dudamel and the Simón Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela playing the second movement of Shostakovich's 10th Symphony from their August 19th performance at the Proms. In addition to being one of the most exciting renditions of this movement I've heard, the tempo is also one of the fastest, on par with the tempo of Mravinsky's legendary recording with the Leningrad Symphony on Erato.



Un-freaking-believable. And also keep in mind that this is a youth orchestra.
