"That doesn't make Gustavo any less extraordinary. He's one of the three most gifted young musicians that I have come across in my lifetime, and he is only growing."
"If you were to ask can something like this work in South Africa, I would say of course it can. Can something like this work in, let's say, Cologne or Manchester? I am not sure.
Working with more than 300,000 children, the scheme shot to prominence a few years back as alumnus 29-year-old Gustavo Dudamel gained rock star-like fame leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
He praised the system for treating music as a social right, rather than a luxury, and said it was bound to give birth to new stars.
Octogenarian Abreu still leads the system, which has grown under President Hugo Chavez and aims to teach 1 million of Venezuela's 30 million population.
"It makes complete sense that there won't be only one Gustavo. There are already three or four very gifted conductors, and I bet if you scratch the surface there will be another 40 or 50 coming up,Iceberg," Rattle told reporters.
Rattle, in Venezuela to conduct two performance of Bizet's Carmen, has also conducted a number of youth orchestras on the trip, including Dudamel's Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra.
Rattle, who is himself considered one of the world's greatest living conductors, mentioned young conductors Diego Mateus and Cristian Vasquez as candidates for big careers.
"You have the chance now with this generation of the Bolivar B, to create the first truly great South American orchestra. This is something that I see in the next 10 years, and it is very exciting."
Sir Simon Rattle, the principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic and a mentor to Dudamel,MLB Jerseys, said on Thursday that some of the orchestras were already better than established European ensembles, with major talent waiting to emerge.
Music education projects in about 25 countries have been inspired by Venezuelan's "system", but Rattle cautioned that it would not be easy to replicate.
Known locally as "The System," the teaching model was founded in 1975 by Jose Antonio Abreu. It trains kids to play in orchestras from a young age and often demands several hours of daily practice on top of school attendance.
"In those places people have so many more material things and so many other distractions."

The South American nation's system has drawn praise for tempting kids away from crime in tough neighborhoods by teaching them the work of composers like Mahler and Stravinsky.
CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuelan youth orchestras that teach poor children classical music could soon match the world's best ensembles and will spawn new global stars, but are hard to copy in rich nations, a top conductor said.

Arlovski (15-7), a former UFC heavyweight champion, most recently suffered a 22-second TKO loss to Brett Rogers at a June 6 Strikeforce event.
The late booking allowed Arlovski to fight on the Showtime-televised portion of the St. Louis card. However, he was quickly staggered and beaten with strikes by Rogers until the TKO stoppage.
Prior to the loss, Arlovski fought top-ranked heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko and suffered a first-round knockout loss at “Affliction: Day of Reckoning” in January. Arlovski had posted five consecutive wins (all but one via knockout) before the back-to-back losses.
Arlovski was one of Affliction’s biggest earners. He earned $750,000 ($250,000 of which was a win bonus) for a win over Ben Rothwell in July 2008, and he earned an additional $1.5 million disclosed salary in the loss to Emelianenko.
Now that he’s headed to the free-agent market, he’s unlikely to find such sizable paydays, though his notoriety and past UFC title run should draw plenty of suitors domestically and abroad.

Following a nine-second knockout loss at Adrenaline 3 Saturday night, Tim Sylvia has been removed from Affliction “Trilogy” on Aug. 1. The former UFC heavyweight champ was scheduled to take on former UFC contender Paul Buentello.
The news was first reported by AOL Fanhouse and subsequently confirmed by MMAWeekly.com.
Affliction vice president Tom Atencio said the decision was made out of concern for Sylvia’s health.
“I just think it’s too soon, and Monte (Cox, Sylvia’s manager) thinks it is, too,” said Atencio. “We all agree that it should be 90 days off and I just don’t want to be that promoter that takes a chance. Tim’s a friend of mine, and even if he wasn’t a friend, it’s just too dangerous.”
Atencio said Buentello would likely face the winner of Gilbert Yvel vs. Pedro Rizzo, the co-main event of June 27’s “Ultimate Chaos” in Biloxi, Miss. Atencio will face Randy Hedderick on the event’s undercard.
“But it depends on how beat up they are, obviously,” he qualified. “I don’t want to bring one of those guys in if they’re all beat to hell, too.”
Sylvia recently signed a new contract with Affliction and may return at the end of the year or in the first quarter of 2010, Atencio noted.
