Composer Virgil Thompson hailed the distinguished American baritone William Warfield (1920 – 2002) as “one of the most satisfying vocal artists of our time.” In 1963, while in Chicago to participate in a performance of El Pessebre, an oratorio by Pablo Casals, Mr. Warfield was Studs Terkel’s guest on WFMT.
