Recoding devices prohibited, so here is a fast sketch of what was going on in Thomas Hampson's Master Class at Curtis today. Wow, what an excellent instructor with such great sense of humor!In the two hours of class, five selected students went on the stage and preformed various pieces of repertories. As each student sang their piece, Mr.Hampson, with his charming sense of humor and critical instructions, attacked (not the student) the common problematic areas from use of air, breathing, understanding the diaphragm, intercommunication with the repertoire to just how high of heels you should not wear. It was a mind opening master class :)
Beautiful and playful Cecilia Bartoli and Thomas Hampson performing a beautiful arrangement.
