All This, and Heaven Too / A Stolen Life Moscow Symphony Chorus / Moscow Symphony Orchestra / William Stromberg [ Naxos Film Music Classics / CD - released 9/Oct/2007 ] All This, and Heaven Too came in 1940 when the composer's approach was very emotional with highly chromatic writing in the Wagner tradition.
