Review: Berkeley Symphony previews a ‘Frankenstein’ opera
San Francisco Chronicle, May 6, 2016
“Like a movie trailer, Grey’s 35-minute orchestral work is assembled out of some of the choice scenes from the full offering, arranged not in narrative order but so as to make things feel all the more alluring. Listening to these selections — which are robust enough to stand on their own, yet still teasingly partial in their dramatic effect — made a cogent argument for the virtues of the opera…Grey’s command of the orchestra is often striking, with ingenious combinations of instrumental color and a dramatic sense of scale that shows off those resources expertly.”
San Francisco Chronicle picks FRANKENSTEIN SYMPHONY in top five classical music choices for 2016: Classical Music Gems for 2016
The Naxos recording of Grey’s Enemy Slayer: A Navajo Oratorio is of the world premiere performance featuring the Phoenix Symphony conducted by Michael Christie, the Phoenix Symphony Chorus and baritone Scott Hendricks.
