David Hobson – The Live Album
This collection is a long-overdue celebration of the exciting early years of David Hobson’s operatic career.
All of the excerpts (except for La Boheme) appear on CD for the first time…and as an extra bonus there is a chance to hear an excerpt from David’s rock musical Macbeth!
