Ivanhoe | Soundtrack Suite (Miklós Rózsa)

[@QuayNemSorr]

Rozca made some truely remarkable movie scores. Unfortunatly he is often forgotten in this day and age and his music very hard to come by. Thank you for the upload and for keeping this mans wonderfull music alive

[@darrenburnfan]

I am a great Mikos Rozsa fan and his score for "Ivanhoe" is one of his very best. I didn't see the film on its first release in 1952, but on its reissue in 1960 when I was a 13 years old boy at the now long gone Alhambra cinema in Stoke on Trent and I was very impressed. Every time I hear this score, it takes me right back to those days when my life and the world were so different to what they are today. I bought the CD seen above some years ago and it remains an important part of my collection. David Rayner (now aged 70).

[@myung-sooson7598]

As for me, I saw this epic in Seoul, Korea in the late 1950's and was very impressed all my life ~ it's one of the best film scores of Miklos Rozsa for sure 흑기사 黑騎士

[@Wolfsky9]

+darrenburnfan Sir, I was too young in '52 ---6 y/o--to recall or appreciate this film. My 1st exposure to Dr. Rozsa was " Ben-Hur", & I was mesmerized. I saw " Ivanhoe " later on TV, & sadly, it seemed dated & stilted; the music though, was beautiful. As with a failed effort as Bronston's disastrous " King Of Kings", the film was embarrassingly bad. The music though, was inspiring & gorgeous. The same is to be said for " El Cid". Though Heston was miscast, the film was well done, & the score was beautiful. What a master of this art form Rozsa was ! --Wolfsky9

[@pikenova48]

@@Wolfsky9 Sorry, totally disagree with you on Heston being miscast in "El Cid". That role was tailor-made for him and he was magnificent as Rodrigo aka "El Cid". Despite my profound disappointment with Heston of his later ultra-right-wing political views. His role as Rodrigo in El Cid, in my opinion, was even better than the Ten Commandments. El Cid is one of the greatest films of all time and in my opinion, no other actor could have played El Cid better than him.

[@Sennmut]

And the dialogue...can you imagine a film today with the words: "After the Third Crusade to free the Holy Land..." How racist, sexist, Eurocentric, unwoke, et al........ Oh, yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KeithDec25]

One of the reasons Rosza became the undisputed MASTER of historical/epic scores...

[@falconcela9175]

Miklos Rozsa the best off inspiration music . Unforgettable.

[@johnreddick7650]

In case no one has brought it up yet, the melody that begins at @01:21 is a "routrouenge" allegedly by Richard the Lion-Heart himself, called "Ja nul hons pris," which he composed while he was being held captive in Germany.

[@robertomangione1596]

Per me miklos rozsa è uno dei più grandi musicisti di tutti i tempi...ha composto musiche favolose che nessun altro ha mai toccato...ivanhoe grandissimo film storico con un favoloso eroe che è robert Taylor ....liz Taylor...e grande cast....👍👏

[@WalterDWormack214]

This is one the GREATEST opening filmscores EVER!

[@Vincent817V]

one of the most epic, this movie is not from my generation but it has my favourite openning ever !

[@theuninvited1944GR]

One of the greatest film themes ever composed, from one of the greatest adventure films ever made. Should have won the Oscar For Best Film Score in 1952.

[@MrRbjunior83]

Monster of composing and orchestration!

[@rogerangress1098]

There is a sense in this motion picture of innocence & virtue at its greatest aspect in days of knights, rogues & chivalry times I'd gladly live for without end. Sir Ivanhoe was of such appeal!!! Robert Taylor played the character to the hilt where honor is above all & GOD preserve the right where goodness & justice wins in the end..... George Sanders was bewitched by his love for Taylor's character & died believing it....."GOD keep you.....!!!!"

[@stuartswan54]

It's a story of love, and of hate, and of prejudice. And though the story is old, the love, the hatred, and the prejudice are ever new.

[@vincentwilson7679]

This is music at it's very best, what a score

[@charleshill946]

My first introduction to the film music of Rozsa. There are a few movies that you can tell from the first notes of the soundtrack that you know are going to be great movies. Great Escape, Magnificent 7, Ben Hur, and The Big Country all come to mind.

[@philipchretienkarlsson8157]

Those marvellous composers. The Hollywood studios had such great musical luck at the time !

[@ravenhill_of_yore_1968]

a marvelous suite, ivanhoe starring late robert taylor was a great film, even ivanhoe in 1982 was a good adaptation too.

[@Vincent817V]

This movie illustrate perfectly for me how the movie a few time ago were more innocent, with romance and epicness and they were such great movies. I'm not complaining I love todayz movies but i'm always nostalgic when I hear this oppening theme ! Even if my parents wer'nt born at this time :p

[@sammykhuri1885]

They don’t make that kind of movie anymore, too bad!

[@xc5pl2]

As I listen to the finale I can physically see the movie behind my eyes especially when King Richard returns and Prince John has to stand up and bow before the king. One thing I do know is that Prince John didn't like to do this one little bit but he had no choice to because Richard the Lion Heart was the king of England at that point in time.

[@samwst56]

In a cafe, a lone man sat at a table surrounded by other tables full up with diners. A young woman came in and spied the man at the table and asked it she could join him because there were no other tables open. "Sure, sit down," he said. "I'm Ivanhoe. And who are you, my dear? "Oh, I'm a Chicago ho." "Well then, it looks like good luck for both us!" exclaimed Ivanhoe.

[@Heidenspross]

oh gods! my childhood! my hero! don't you worry damsels in distress! as long as chivalry is alive we chosen knights will fight for you!!!

[@hourlynewscaster]

I agree with the comment about the best OPENING music. My God, this score comes on like "Gangbusters."

@@davidrayner182 More adverts mean more money, unfortunately. Your wish for ads only at beginnings is wonderful. I find it fair to watch / skip an ad before a 15 min. music presentation. But interrupting the music is... pretty unsatisfying, especially if it's good music. ;-)

That's why Ivanhoe stills my favorite medieval movie. Yeah Excalibur, Kingdom of Heaven or The Last Duel are great and action scenes are brutal, realistics... But they don't make us dream. Ivanhoe did it !

The correct tempo, a clean recording, albeit mono, and a superb performance by the MGM studio Orchestra. Not a complete performance of a single sequence, but leaping from one sequence to another. Other versions sound thick and sluggish compared to this original.
