Symphony Parnassus and Dead Elvis

For a little afternoon fun before the Halloween madness overtook the city, I went to hear Eric play with Symphony Parnassus in their Autumn concert at the Herbst Theater.

This fun little program featured a suite from the "Bride of Frankenstein" as well as the prelude to "Psycho," which actually is quite good, even in concert. The Dead Elvis for Bassoon and Chamber Ensemble was not my thing, but they rounded the afternoon off with a very respectable, if slow-ish reading of Berlioz's Symphony Fantastique.

Cheers to Stephen Paulsson (the Symphony's mastermind and director) for pulling their concerts together.
