A clash of cultures with genuinely exciting results: The Venezuelan firebrand maestro galvanizes the esteemed Viennese orchestra, and everyone has a blast. The overture to *Candide* by Leonard Bernstein—the orchestra loved him—sets the tone and Dudamel ensures that it fizzes. After that, it’s toe-tapping pops all the way. Yuja Wang and “Rhapsody in Blue” are a match made in heaven and the Viennese strings put a sheen on Barber’s *Adagio for Strings* that’s hard to resist.
