Wanted: One Mother, Two Recordings, Three Acts, Four Saints
For a long time, I've wanted to recitfy my inexcusible ignorance of Virgil Thomson's two operas, Four Saints in Three Acts and The Mother of Us All. Strangely, my local library has no recording of either, which is my excuse. Anyway, if you'd like to recommend a recording I should buy, or if you have any interesting information about the music, please post a comment.

a narrative! prepare for saints... two saints, four saints, two saints prepare for saints. it makes it well fish.
this may be my favorite opera, EVER. EVER! Go in with a sense of humor, leave logic at the door, and have a great time.
The recording I'd get is the full recording on Nonesuch:

I hope you are a convert. Pigeons in the grass, alas! Short longer grass short longer shorter longer yellow grass. There was a magpie in the sky.
