10 Must-Have Albums from the Milken Archive of Jewish Music

Genesis Suite (1945)

This unique collaboration of seven famous composers, most of them European exiles living in Hollywood during World War II, was performed only once, in 1945, before much of the music was lost in a fire.  

The Genesis Suite depicts the earliest Bible stories, including the Creation, Adam and Eve, the Flood and the Tower of Babel. It’s narrated by distinguished actors accompanied by full orchestra and chorus. Fully restored from recently discovered original manuscripts, the Genesis Suite is presented in its first modern recording.
