Gramophone has been one of the most respected names in classical music for more than 100 years, and it’s an honor to have my work reviewed in their Gramophone magazine.

“Home Is A Harbor” is a new opera by Mark Abel which I orchestrated, and I also helped to rehearse the musicians and produce the first recording of it. The album was released about 6 months ago, and today this review was published in Gramophone. We’re very happy to see that the opera was well received, and we look forward to the first live productions of it.

“The cast is strong, and Benjamin Makino conducts La Brea Sinfonietta in a vivid performance.”

“…a colourful blend of styles, ranging from classical and jazz to hints of rock … serve the emotional nature of each score to bracing and poignant effect.”
