There’s an autumnal radiance about Romeo Cascarino’s best music. His depiction of the treaty with the Lenape, which forms the climax of his magnum opus, “William Penn,” expertly captures the mood of Benjamin West’s famous painting. Enjoy the complete opera, with commentary by my special guest, Dolores Cascarino, the composer’s widow – who created the role of Gulielma, Penn’s wife, opposite Metropolitan Opera bass-baritone John Cheek – this morning, beginning at 7:00 EST, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com.
