Comments and Reviews

LaurenceD SUBS 28th Feb 2022		Weill and Sundgaard conceived this work as a "folk-opera", so I have included it here. The notes state that four American folk-songs are woven into the work: "Sourwood Mountain", "The Little Black Train", "The Lonesome Dove" and "Hop Up, My Ladies".
