On a note of triumph

V-E Day - This is Norman Corwin's original live broadcast which thrilled millions on May 8, 1945, and retains its vast power and its peircing relevance today. The origins, the horrors and the great lessons of World War II blaze forth in a vivid dramatic masterpiece, arguably the finest use of the radio medium ever achieved. Carl Sandburg called this radio drama "a vast announcement, a terrific interrogatory, one of the all-time great American poems." More than a historical tour-de-force, an inspiration for everyone with a magnificent score by Bernard Herrmann.
