I'm trying to be charitable at the thought of Gustavo leading the RCO. If I had to listen to him (because I don't, generally, though I treat Rattle the same way), I'd go to his Mahler or the recent Ives. What else has he recorded that you really like?

Aw, come on, gggg gggg, got no picks? Listened to some of his Pictures earlier today. ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz. Probably worse than that, as it wasn't even relaxing.

I was so disappointed with his Revueltas Sensemaya recording that I gave up on him. To me, he is in the same category as Ozawa, uninteresting to listen to.

I just noticed Dudamel is featured in a commercial for Palo Alto Networks cybersecurity, so he's keeping up his media profile,

However, I don't really have a favorite recording by him. Adams' Gospel According to the Other Mary is in my queue -- haven't heard it yet.

The Dude has his moments. I heard his Tchaikovsky Nutcracker on Qobuz. I liked it, but. . . alas, it's not available in MCh, so I said to myself, "Why bother?". ;-)
