Compact Discoveries Program 135: "Score 2 for Virgil"

The American composer Virgil Thomson wrote the scores for two Great Depression-era U.S. government propaganda films: "The Plow that Broke the Plains" and "The River." Host Fred Flaxman presents the first complete recordings made of this award-winning film music since the soundtracks were created in 1936 and 1937. The new all-digital Naxos CD is by Washiington, D.C.'s Post-Classical Ensemble conducted by Angel Gil-Ordonez.
