W,

On Tuesday Aug. 17 I will be broadcasting on my regular weekly classical music program on WHPK-FM Chicago the legendary  Deutsche Grammophon recording of Verdi's opera Macbeth with Shirley Verrett in one of her signature roles of Lady Macbeth.

Originally released in 1976 the recording has been hailed as a classic and one of the finest recordings of the opera ever recorded with  Piero Cappuccilli, Alfredo Mariotti, Plácido Domingo and Claudio Abbado conducting the orchestra and chorus of the La Scala Opera House Milan.  

My show can be heard as always on every Tuesday from 12 noon to 3PM on 88.5FM locally in the Chicagoland areas and livestreamed on WHPK.org.
