Tremendous Tenor, All-Star Cellos & More / Show 468

About

We meet a trumpeter from a small town in Mexico with music in his blood. A tenor sings Mozart with beautiful color. A young pianist performs Liszt with power and finesse. A guitarist-composer invents her own sound, and an all-star cello quartet rocks Piazzolla.
