The Crossover Superstar and the Next Big Things

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Known to have made audiences hold their breath with his lavish sound, Israeli violinist Ittai Shapira visits Soundcheck. He brings with him one of Great Britain's top young conductors, Charles Hazlewood. Together the pair discuss their forthcoming concert with the Orchestra of St. Luke's. We're also visited today by international soprano Sarah Brightman, whose new album "Harem" features several of her own songs.
