Every weekday morning at 10 a.m., the hosts at Classical MPR play a standout work based on the theme for the week. We call them Morning Glories.
Gioachino Rossini was born on February 29 — a leap year baby! Since we only get to celebrate Rossini's actual birthday once every four years, we devote this week's Morning Glories to Rossini's music.
