In a later interview in The Guardian celebrating his 95th birthday, Terkel discussed his own 'diverse and idiosyncratic taste in music, from Bob Dylan to Alexander Frey, Louis Armstrong to Woodie Guthrie'. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Studs Terkel referred to him as 'a Renaissance Man'. In January 2008, during an interview broadcast on Radio Cairo while conducting in Egypt, Frey stated that 'Music is a peaceful island in a river of sadness.' įrey has been described as 'a witty, urbane figure whose wide-ranging genius is evident in the immense breadth of his accomplishments and activities in so many musical genres, and in his performances onstage and in conversation offstage'. In addition to his regular appearances as a conductor on major concert series, Frey is very frequently called upon to replace conductors who have canceled their engagements, often at the last minute, and is known for being able to completely learn entire concert programs virtually overnight and follow with performances of great depth. Leonard Bernstein referred to him as 'a wonderful spirit'. Frey is in great demand as one of the world's most versatile conductors, and enjoys success in the concert hall and opera house, and in the music of Broadway and Hollywood.

Alexander Frey, KM ( SMOM), KStJ, is an American symphony orchestra conductor, virtuoso organist, pianist, harpsichordist and composer.
