The performance amounts to about 2 hours of music, so something has been
omitted. It divided easily into 10 sections, but background information included
in the file (from the US premiere in 1956) indicates there should be 12
tableaux. Any information about the performance, the music that was cut and the
singers (transcribed from poor handwriting) would be appreciated. A better
recording (eg from the 1956 US premiere) must surely exist.
Source from reel-to-reel via cassette to .WAV and thence to mono .mp3 at 192
kbps. Probably an AM radio broadcast to judge from the variations (and big drop
out in the final chorus.
