Sergio A. Mims: Rossini opera "Sigismondo" With tenor Kenneth Tarver on WHPK-FM Chicago Tuesday Aug. 15

Sigismondo
Gioachino Rossini

Kenneth Tarver, Tenor

Sergio A. Mims writes:

I want your readers to know that on Tuesday Aug. 15 I will broadcast Naxos' recent new recording of Rossini's rarely heard and performed opera Sigismondo with tenor Kenneth Tarver  My show can be heard on 88.5 FM locally in Chicago and on the station's website www.whpk.org worldwide 12-3 PM Central time

A recent review of the recording said that : "The engaging music Rossini gave to the high tenor as Ladislao did not create the usual villain, and with the American, Kenneth Tarver, coping well with the highly challenging writing, you would happily warm to the character"
