Latest OC crush tjfloyd alerted us to 60 Minutes segment on Gustavo Dudamel, which you can access via web (for those of us in Europe…or those of you in the USA who forgot to pay your cable bill). Titled “Gustavo The Great”, Bob Simon interviews the Venezuelan supah-stah and follows him from Los Angeles to Lucerne in a thirteen minute clip. Transcript and story here (with small video embed), while a bigger video embed is found here.
Just make sure to stop the clip 5 seconds from the end, unless you want to hear this from Mr. Simon: "If you’ve never heard Gustavo Dudamel make music before, remember in years to come, you saw him on 60 Minutes first." laffeaux laffeaux. o ok, CBS. Yeah, Dudamel is like the Wii of conductors. CBS magically found him in their crystal ball. More like crystal balls. Don’t force my hand, Robert Simon!!
