MasterVoices’ superb cast provides fine advocacy for Gordon’s “Grapes of Wrath”

NEW YORK CLASSICAL review

The horrible moment when Noah (a fine bass-baritone Christian Pursell) decides to drown himself so the Joads will have an easier time surviving is set to rising major chords modulating to one major key after another. In a larger context of music full of conflict this might have had more resonance.
