You can get a lot of the recordings on import from the USA.

Apparently the LA Symphony used to use his recording sessions as technique work-outs - with all the atonal scales and 64th note sequences they'd come out from the studio wrecked and drenched in sweat.

I did a gig with a UK vibes player (Alan something - he polayed the original Play School theme apparently) who used to do sessions for these animators during a strike by US studio musicians and he said it was a lot harder to read than Stravinsky. Really atonal and rhythmically complicated.

The closest I've ever got was being in the pit for Bernstein's "On the Town"
but I do recall commenting at the time that some of it was "like playing cartoon music"...
