I don’t know about you, but my fantasy of living the perfect quarantine would be to be @AthomewithGustavo, the title of his new, nationally syndicated (on PRX) or LAPhil beginning today. I was lucky enough to once interview Gustavo one-on-one in his office, and now it can be told, to briefly do the salsa with him on opening night (he’s a fantastic dancer as you can tell by his moves on the podium) but for any fan of the “Dude” during the shut-in, having access to this febrile, young mind is even better. From Gustavo’s first concert in LA and then to others in NY and Europe, I became one of the Gustavo groupies in disguise as a journalist. It was impossible not to see in him the renaissance of classical music for a new generation. The LA Phil is considered by many critics to now be the best orchestra in the world under his leadership. Be sure to tune in.
