"... an excerpt from from "The Wings of the Dove" and it's gorgeous, if intensely wistful. Ager's writing is subtly layered, its emotions being persistent and powerful without ever venturing into a hint of melodrama"

Première of "Interlude" from The Wings of the Dove (opera)
Performed by Thirteen Strings of Ottawa, Kevin Mallon, conductor
"... the opera [Frankenstein] is gripping from start to finish. I wanted more because what there was, was so enjoyable. The librettists have boiled the story down to its bare essentials which are even more timely now when mankind really can artificially create life. Ager himself played the score on a grand piano, where it sounded like a gorgeous post-impressionist tone poem, lush yet propulsive, where constantly shifting tonalities reflected the morally ambiguous world of the story."
