There is no dialogue, enabling Naxos to offer both the original soundtrack (with Morris Carnovsky narrating and an orchestra conducted by Max Goberman) as well as a brand-new recording. World premiere recording. Includes a 15-minute documentary from the Greenbelt Museum and a 29-minute conversation with legendary documentary film-maker Joseph Horowitz.
