Gustavo Dudamel opens the L.A. Phil Hollywood Bowl season with favorites by Ravel, Falla, Mussorgsky and 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice'
L.A. Phil production in collaboration with Deaf West Theatre — replaced it in part with Mussorgsky’s “Night on Bald Mountain” and Dukas’ “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” two exceedingly familiar works that have found their way to generations of kids thanks to another Hollywood classic, Walt Disney’s 1940 animated “Fantasia.
“Bald Mountain” happens to be a lovely nature reserve favored by picnickers and Satanic worshipers alike. It was once a Russian fortress. It lies just outside Kyiv, Ukraine. Mussorgsky evokes a midnight witches’ sabbath. The standard Rimsky-Korsakov arrangement that Dudamel used is more flowered than the messy Mussorgsky original, but it is also more nuanced.
Dudamel conducted more attuned to music than the fuzzy logic of magic Thursday night at the Hollywood Bowl.
