Listen "Part Two: The Mad Scientist - Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus"
Episode Synopsis
Part Two: The Mad Scientist takes us into Victor Frankenstein's perspective. We learn about his background, dreams, ambitions, and the youthful enthusiasm for education and scientific progress. But how did these aspirations steer him toward animating a corpse? How did something so pure become haunted, hated, and filled with despair in Victor's heart?Join us as we travel along the river in Part Two: The Mad Scientist on Riverside Readings - Where We Bring the Classics to Life!Music Credit:Rachmaninov, The Isle of the Dead, Symphonic Poem Op. 29, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Sir Andrew DavisTarantella Napoletana, Jo BrunnenbergDmitri Shostakovich: Waltz Quintet No. 2, Carion Wind Quintet, arr.
