Gustavo Dudamel and the LA Phil

When Gustavo Dudamel conducts, it's like his body is inhabited by the music; his physical expression of the music often has a energizing effect on the orchestra and the audience. On today's show, feel the energy as Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic play Mozart's "Jupiter" Symphony at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
