Coming straight from the Tonhalle Zürich, this week’s guest is Italian superstar, former Nielsen Competition winner and Karajan Academy graduate; Alberto Navarra. Alberto very kindly took some time out of his busy schedule to sit and chat all about this debut album on Orchid Classics, featuring three monster flute concertos; The Mozart Flute and Harp, Reinecke and Nielsen, all with the Odense Symphony Orchestra.  We also chatted a bit about his experiences studying with Jacques Zoon, Emmanuel Pahud, Andrea Oliva etc and his surprising love for System of a Down.  Alberto’s album is available on CD or streaming on all your usual platforms.  If you'd like to support the podcast, you can sign up for just 5 quid a month to be a Patron at; patreon.com/TheInlineGFlutePodcast Inline G will ALWAYS be free of charge, but signing up helps let this podcast reach new heights, if you can afford it.
