Hao Jiang Tian grew up in China during Mao’s Cultural Revolution. Now he sings at the Met.  Tian recalls smashing his conductor-father’s then banned record albums for recycling, and the albums his father hid. And he tells the story of how he moved from his hated piano lessons to life as a vocalist.  And we hear lots of singing.
