In 1937, Cincinnati's May Festival gave the world premiere of R. Nathaniel Dett's oratorio, The Ordering of Moses, a 'Biblical Folk Scene' composed in 1932. The event was broadcast live to the nation by NBC radio. The present recording captures a thrilling 2014 concert of Dett's magnum opus, performed by four stellar vocal soloists, the May Festival Chorus, and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, conducted by James Conlon.
