'The Construction of Boston,' Caught On Disc

Fresh Air's classical music critic reviews a new CD of Scott Wheeler's opera The Construction of Boston, based on a hymn to Boston written in 1962 by the New York poet Kenneth Koch.

The disc, out from Naxos, captures a live performance by the Boston Cecilia choral society.
