After Mario Frangoulis’ first CD Peter Gelb who was then head of Sony Classical (and now runs the NY Metropolitan Opera) asked me to produce a crossover album with Sony’s 2 top legitimate opera singers Slavatore Licitra and Marcelo Alverez. Peter is constantly looking for ways to keep classical music vital and wants to find doors that new generations will pass through to discover its beauty. This was a wonderful opportunity for me to try to help him in that goal. A great experience for me...we gave it the serious college try.
