Listening to an amusing piece of kitsch called The Genesis Suite - some interesting composers were recruited to write the music, some of which plays under stentorian narration of the story of Genesis. But the composers are really interesting and their music is interesting, too - very film music like - the composers are Schoenberg, the guy whose idea it was and who wrote the narration and one piece of music, Nathaniel Shilkret, Alexandre Tansman, Darius Milhaud, Mario Castelnuovo Tedesco, Igor Stravinsky, and Ernst Toch. Quite a list - apparently they were all hard up for money and they took this assignment. The only recording ever done of it, I think, was the Capitol record in the very early 1950s. The CD transfer is from a record and at the time it was done they didn't have the tools they do today - today it would sound pristine.
