12:00 FROM THE TOP with America's finest young musicians; recorded October 2024 to January 2025
A teen pianist performs a beautiful Chopin Scherzo and then improvs in his other love, jazz, with Peter. A 17-year-old composer shares his violin fantasy. We meet a piano duo from Oregon who are surprised by a major influence in their musical lives, From the Top alum Greg Anderson, who is one half of the lauded Anderson and Roe duo. A 10-year-old cellist who has only been studying cello for three years performs Dvořák and a 15-year-old saxophonist performs the work of composer Steven Banks, who was also on From the Top as a teen. Finally, we meet a foodie and pianist who reflects on the similarities between cooking and music.

The cast also features tenor David Butt Philip as Leonore’s husband, the noble Florestan; bass René Pape as the jailer Rocco; baritone Tomasz Konieczny as the villainous Don Pizarro; and soprano Ying Fang as the jailer’s daughter Marzelline. Susanna Mälkki conducts the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus in Beethoven’s stirring score.
