Tenho 69 anos, e me sinto dentro das telas ainda hoje acompanhando as tropas romanas entrando nas localidades com força militar, e dominância. O filme Ben Hur, à época, me arrebatou de uma maneira tão forte, e contundente, que até hoje não consigo esquecê-lo nas menores que sejam as cenas. E esse patrimônio musical vai continuar vivo em mim para minha alegria interior. Abraço cordial. Salve Maria!.

[@Robson1898vascao]

The greatest film EVER made. I've seen the best, like Casablanca, Godfather, Gone with the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, but none of those, or any other, can beat Ben Hur. It is a perfect movie, the top, the truly, the genuine epic. Great plot, outstanding actings, Charlton Heston making a brilliant performance, the supporting characters like Messala, Balthazar and Sheik Ilderin doing a hell of a job... And the soundtrack. Well, the soundtrack is beautiful. Is a masterpiece composed by the genius Miklos Rosza. Sometimes i cant hold my tears watching it. By the way... I'M AN ATHEIST !

[@georgeberger8974]

"EVER made"? This is wonderful, but I do not think the generalisation is warranted. There are many fine European (and Soviet) films, of a quite different sort. To say that Ben Hur is the greatest ever, is like comparing an apple with many pears. Quite different categories.

[@Robson1898vascao]

George Berger We all know US (and some Italian and Brits) movies are the best. But i understand your point.

[@black3300]

Ben hur is outstanding but first part is much better than the second which is to theatrical IMO

[@porflepopnecker4376]

George Berger Just because there are many fine European and Soviet films doesn't mean "Ben Hur" can't be the greatest film ever made. Not saying it is, but that doesn't mean it can't be.

[@rjmcallister1888]

Miklos Rozsa was best-known for the music of dozens of 'sword-and-sandals' epics from the 50's and 60's, and he was, indeed, the master of that genre. If we want to compare, one could put Max Steiner's 1939 masterwork for "Gone With the Wind", so good that David O. Selznick waited until literally the last minute to add it to the final cut, or John Williams' original 1977 "Star Wars" music, which is still being played 40 years on. All three men are masters of their craft, and each would probably defer to the other when asked. Great work by Previn's Pittsburgh Symphony for faithfully recreating the sound and feel of the original, with Rosza himself at the helm.

[@robertstrong8966]

Miklos Rozsa (RIP) was a musical genius. Ben Hur set the bar so high it is seldom equaled, has not been surpassed, and I doubt it ever will be. "Spellbound Concerto," also by Miklos Rozsa, is another extraordinary masterpiece. I'm transcended--have an "out of body" experience, every time I listen to these, soul moving scores.

[@robertshaw7132]

I have that out-of-body experience when I hear his soundtracks to King of Kings and El Cid.

[@derecker1]

Actually, i have Spellbound Concerto as the second best Rozsa's piece, many will point scores like Quo Vadis or King of Kings, but for me it'll have to be The El Cid March. 1. Ben Hur Suite 2. Spellbound Concerto 3. The El Cid March

I love this music. There are many brilliant and ingenious film scores written by incredible composers, but as a musician / composer, I find this work at the top. The emotion and ability to express the story and Rozsa's incredible music visualization is powerful. His compositional skills were a perfect match for these type of Hollywood epics, and yet his music stands by itself as mastery works. The movie is brilliant, and so is it's composer.

[@DarthBias1]

why are things getting worse - shouldn't they get better having stuff like this to learn from?

[@curtchiarelli8957]

I can answer your question with one word: arrogance. The arrogance of a intensely narcissistic generation that thinks history begins and ends with them and them alone, that is obsessed only with its present. By contrast, a brilliant man like Miklos Rozsa thought in terms of context, of the wider picture. A life long learner, he enthusiastically sought out knowledge of his contemporaries as well as that of the past. As a result, he was a deeply cultured man whose work was enriched by this legacy then, even as his work continues to enrich us today. Knowledge of the past gave him the keys to creating art of resonance in the present which, in turn, gave a great, lasting gift to the future of our culture. That is part of the reason why Rozsa's work remains so timeless. The rest lies in that deep mystery called talent . . . . but talent divorced from its historical context and cultural roots creates art which is as inarticulate, intellectually vacuous and emotionally barren as that of the corporatized "content" churned out nowadays.

[@DarthBias1]

I couldn't agree more jslasher! A tidy summation of everything that's wrong with today's films and their scoring.

[@falconcela9175]

Miklos was a friend of the great Elmer Bernstein. It was rumored that Elmer Bernstein recommended Miklos Rozsa to compose the music for the Ben-Hur film. Back in the day, the composer would conduct the orchestra personally when recording the music for the film. Today, much of the composition itself is done by electronic synthesizers, not all but some. Amazing the difference and how rich the human element sounds. No synthesizer can ever feel how much music can move someone. This is wonderful.

[@jandreidrn]

Miklos Rozsa was already a veteran before Elmer Bernstein started as a film composer. He's had more influence in MGM than Elmer that's why Miklos got all the biblical epics scoring assignment. Lest you forget Elmer Bernstein was blacklisted by McCarthy for being rumoured to have communistic leanings. Elmer was left nothing but scraping up assignments scoring bad cheap movies like Cat Women on the Moon and Robot Monster around the time Miklos was hitting it big scoring biblical epics. If not for the legendary filmmaker Cecille B. DeMille and his faith for the young 30-year old composer that Elmer got to do The Ten Commandments and was let back to the good graces of Hollywood.

[@WMJCPA]

ChuckRazor Thank you. I believe I was confused with the Ten Commandments and it was the other way around with Bernstein composing the score for the Ten Commandments. Still these 2 men were close friends or at least as reported on the internet, and we know the internet would never report anything that wasn't true or so says the internet.

[@jsrlasher4711]

Totally wrong about Elmer's recommendation. I knew Miki personally and he would have been the first to confirm that as he was under contract to M-G-M he would have been pre-assigned the film.

[@oscarmike1131]

WMJCPA spoken like someone that doesn't understand composition. Using computers to write music doesn't take away the human element, it just means you used a computer to do the mock up. There is still a human element which is the composer working out the orchestrations and so forth. Goldsmith to me is the best film composer to ever do it and the man used computers to do mock ups too. Do we pretend he was a hack because of that? And there are softwares like Finale and Sibelius that allow you to use the mouse to input the notes like a pen on paper. It's all just a tool in the end. Human element is still very much present

[@Marrio49]

WMJCPA originally the music was offered to Igor Stravinsky but when asked how long it would take for him to come up with the music it was too long so then it was offered to Rosa

[@MultiMorgan1]

Yes, I feel God touched Miklos, just exquisite, grateful for this wonder…

[@franciscoedilbertoespinoza2662]

Hermosa música, nos transporta imaginariamente al escenario de los tiempos en que Roma estaba gobernado por Tiberio Cesar, etc.

[@drchepa1]

the golden era of great composers, max steinner, bernard herrman, alex north, dimitri tiomkin.....and in the top maestro rozsa.

[@georgeberger8974]

And Erich Wolfgang Korngold.

[@TheMatrixxandRhodesShow]

Samuel Barber, Paul Hindemith, and Aaron Copeland.

[@georgeberger8974]

Kenneth Crain I am not a fan of Barber or Copland, and have never heard a thing by Hindemith. Can you recommend some works? Korngold's pre-emigration music is brilliant. Try his opera, Die Tote Stadt, or look om You Tube for von Otter singing Marietta's lied.

[@TheMatrixxandRhodesShow]

Listen to Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber; Appalachian Spring by Aaron Copeland; Mathis de Maler or Symphonic Metamorphosis by Paul Hindemith.

[@georgeberger8974]

I have listened to all of those. I prefer Copland's Fanfare. The Barber is alright, but nothing special. I have not heard that Hindemith for decades.

[@MarcusVinicius-wt2cd]

Maestro Miklos Rozsa teve inspiração divina para criar essa magnifica obra

[@hifaso]

Miklos Rosza, o próprio, o mito! Apenas três segmentos da mais espetacular trilha sonora de todos os tempos: Abertura / Tema de Amor / Tema das Quadrigas. Agreguem-se todos os temas juntos (mais uns 10!!!), e uma insuperável música para filme ganha as dimensões de lenda. Insuperável!

[@pricla777]

WOW! This composer was talented beyond compare! His music takes me to heavenly places.

[@Flickchaser]

Magnificent musicians working in unison under an unparalled master...M.R. The score pulls us in ever deeper to touch and release emotions that are truly sublime.

[@windstorm1000]

yes. absolutely. music goes where other things stop and reach part of our selves and pull a story along and underline emotional situations. the score for ben hur so obviously is a success in this--this is the beauty and power of film at its finest...
