  • Ron Della Chiesa Rocks the Music World Not Many
    From Pop to Opera, Part 1: Ron Della Chiesa Rocks the Music World Not many radio broadcasters can boast a background that covers such widely diverse passions as opera, symphony, jazz and pop music. Ron Della Chiesa is unique in that respect. His melodious, perfectly honed voice is instantly recognizable as that of the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s radio announcer. Also well known for his captivating interviews, the award-winning broadcaster also has conversed with panoplies of the world’s greatest musical stars, from Met Opera luminaries such as Luciano Pavarotti and Eileen Farrell to the pop world’s Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra. It’s hardly any wonder that Ron couldn’t resist chronicling his vast experiences in the field in his captivating book, Radio My Way (http://www.amazon.com/Radio-My-Way-Featuring- Celebrity/dp/0205190782). Recently inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame, this year Ron heads into his 25th year as The Voice of the BSO. I caught up with Della Chiesa at Tanglewood, the Orchestra’s iconic summer home. EM: Ron, congratulations on your 25-year milestone broadcasting the BSO’s concerts from Symphony Hall and Tanglewood. When was your first broadcast? RDC: October 4, 1991, 2 p.m. at Symphony Hall. Beethoven 8th, Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky, with Seiji (Ozawa). EM: What a program. How does it feel now, years later? RDC: It feels like I started only yesterday. So much has happened in between, from Ozawa’s final period through Levine and the many guest conductors. Perhaps the most exciting thing now is to be part of what Andris Nelsons is doing, shaping the orchestra in a very special, most positive way.
