Interlochen, MI / 75
About
This week’s From the Top, recorded in Corson Auditorium on the campus of the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan, features a soprano from Indiana performing the playful aria “Vedrai Carino” from Mozart’s Don Giovanni, and a guitarist from Queens, New York performing de la Maya’s lyrical piece, “Andaluza.” We’ll also learn how a very unusual farming product can improve those horrible chapped lips suffered by brass players and hear Flight of the Bumblebee played by a tubist, who is dressed head to toe in a bumblebee suit!
