The Cradle Will Rock (Full Original Orchestrations) - Scene Three: Mission (Hard Times/The Sermon)

For decades, this was the only recording in existence of the original orchestrations (by the author) of this sequence from Marc Blitzstein's historic musical The Cradle Will Rock. This is the way it was intended to be heard before the cast and crew were locked out of the theater and the production was moved to another nearby theater where Blitzstein accompanied the cast with a solo piano. This recording comes from a radio broadcast on February 21, 1960 of the New York City Opera revival. Unfortunately the sound quality could be better and the orchestrations are a bit hard to hear at times. Luckily, in 2018 a new fully orchestrated complete recording was made featuring the cast of the Opera Saratoga production. Ruth Kobart (the original Domina in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum) stars as Mrs. Mister Directed by Howard DaSilva Conductor: Lehman Engel
