  • Green Man reviews Peter and the Wolf

    “If all this weren’t enough for a perfect, cohesive whole — which it is — the final product is solidified by Friday’s narration. His calm, low, rumbly voice is hypnotic, and his vocalizations are just subtle enough not to be comic, at least not in the pejorative sense. His familiarity with and fondness for the story are apparent. Not only does his reading completely immerse the listener in Peter’s world, it also fosters a special appreciation for in the work in those already familiar with the story and newcomers alike.” From greenmanreview.com.
