The Great Artists of the 21st Century

Jonathan Antoine, classical tenor
I believe we are in a renaissance, a renaissance of music.

These young people I have mentioned - these are not simply young talents, they are the great artists of the next 30 or 40 years. Jonathan Antoine is not just a good young tenor, he is the Pavarotti of this century.

I know very little about musical composers. But what I read tells me Alma Deutscher is not simply a prodigy, she is the real thing. We are literally lucky to be alive to see another Mozart or Schubert in the making.

Hampson and Pavarotti
Thomas Hampson is a famous baritone. Here he is singing O Mimi tu Piu Non Torni from 'La Boheme' alongside Luciano Pavarotti. Hampson is Alma Deutscher's favorite baritone.

Here he joins Alma in writing and practicing her 'Night Before Christmas.' It is beautiful to see such artists work together with such mutual respect for each other and such love for the craft.
