A Marc Blitzstein work that ISN'T "And the cradle will rock"!! Tippett's astonishing THE ICE BREAK. And Robert Ward's THE CRUCIBLE - a work I rate very highly indeed! :)) And Carlisle Floyd's super SUSANNAH for the night owls :))
Entirely free to listen!
Here it is! You will need a compatible audio program - VLC works perfectly :)
