The Celebrity Of Gustavo Dudamel
"Surely it is possible for a classical composer or performer to attain celebrity without surrendering to celebrity culture. Such a canny virtuoso might even persuade a terminally distracted Balloon Boy nation to pay attention to a forty-five-minute symphony. Right now, all eyes are trained on the twenty-eight-year-old Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel." The New Yorker 12/14/09
