Composer and conductor H.K. Gruber joins the ESO for a rather unusual performance tonight and tomorrow that features his work Frankenstein!! The BBC Music Magazine said:
"Is Frankenstein!! a set of Roald Dahl-ish sinister-magical songs masquerading as a grown-up song-cycle? Or political satire hiding under a charming Viennese facade? Or is it a caberet entertainment, like Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire, but with added sugar and chocolate? Gruber himself takes on the role of chansonnier with lip-smacking relish."
