by VLADIMIR ROSING (tenor) VLADIMIR ROSING, born in Petrograd in 1890, studied singing under Jean de Reszke, amongst others, and at the same time read for the Bar. He made his debut as Lensky in Tchaikovsky's opera Eugene Onegin, and first appeared in London twenty years ago. He has toured the world, and in 1923 was made head'of the, opera class at the Eastman School of Music, at the same time as Eugene Goossens was conducting the orchestra there. Rosing exercises the same magnetic force over his audiences as do a few great singers, such, for instance, as Chaliapin. He is at his finest in the songs of his compatriots, and has done his best to make them known to the world. Rosing's recitals are, by the way, models of programme-making.
