Scholars aided by a grant from the Ford Foundation prepared the work for a stunning performance at the Metropolitan Museum's Cloisters last December. The recording, also, comes alive, thanks...

But in those golden pre-World War I days, even young socialists supported a cook and maid. For the Woolfs there were also to be such contingent expenses as the four nurses required during Virginia's breakdowns...
