"William Morgan rose magnificently to the many challenges of his role, making the narrator a distinctive character with real emotions, from frustration and anger at humanity’s cruelty to awe and wonder at the beauty of nature.
​
Addressing the audience directly, with scarcely a pause in the work’s 80-minute duration, Morgan succeeded in holding the interest at all times, yet never drawing attention away from the important orchestral contributions."
