To Whom it May Concern,

Rich Capparela has been producing radio spots for the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra and Symphony Center for several seasons.  Our marketing staff
e-mails him suggested copy and the rest is a turn-key operation on
Rich's end.  We get back fully produced CDs of the spots - voiced,
produced and edited by Rich.  He's never missed a deadline (with some
quick turnaround times thrown at him) and has consistently provided us
with a quality product, often effectively enhancing the copy outlines
sent to him.   He's also displayed versatility, producing not just
classical spots, but also jazz and crossover event commercials, ranging
from the Billy Taylor Trio to Bugs Bunny on Broadway.

When it comes to the straight classical events, Rich also has the chops
to the make the correct decisions on music beds and pronunciations.
He's been around classical radio since 1972, the year I first worked
with him on radio fund raisers.

Rich does the job and requires little supervision.  I can recommend Rich
and his company, Cardiff Studios, for your organization's radio needs.
