Alan Shulman was a composer and arranger, and the cellist of the Kreiner String Quartet (1935-38). Shulman's first successful composition was Theme and Variations for Viola and Orchestra, which received its première over NBC in 1941. Alan Shulman's most extended orchestral writing appears in his film scores, made for RKO in the 40s and 50s. These soundtrack recordings have been restored and are being issued for the first time.
