Ten Commandments Original Two-Record Soundtrack Album
Many folks in Hollywood thought Cecil B. DeMille was crazy when he hired a very young composer by the name of Elmer Bernstein with few credits under his belt to score his grand epic, biggest money-maker and sadly last movie, "The Ten Commandments" (1956). But as always DeMille's instincts were spot on. Bernstein wrote one of the most magnificent scores for a Biblical epic ever written up to that time. So luscious was his music that the soundtrack album was issued in an extremely rare two record set. It also went on to become the best selling soundtrack album up to the time of its release. And of course Bernstein himself went on to write some of the greatest movie scores of all time. This one of the original albums in the special two record edition. In absolutely mint condition. Album is approx 12.5" x 12.5".
