William Shatner’s Biblical Debut

William Shatner is getting into the holiday spirit. The famed actor’s distinctive voice can be heard in “Exodus: An Oratorio in Three Parts,” an album released this week, just in time for Passover. The recording, taken from live performances in 2005, features Shatner in a dramatic reading of sections of the Haggadah and the Bible, accompanied by the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, JTA reports. ASO conductor David Itkin composed the music.
