Any presentation of Bernd Alois Zimmermann's Die Soldaten is a monumental undertaking. To depict a terrifying vision of a world governed by war, the score requires a 100-piece orchestra, countless singers and speakers, an on-stage band, and electronic music throughout. Tune in toSaturday Night At The Opera for a rare opportunity to hear the premiere recording of this twentieth century landmark. Stepan Atamian hosts.
