The Fall of the Roman Empire - Dimitri Tiomkin - The Persian Segment

Livius is sent by Emperor Comodus in the East to supress a rebellion of the Roman Army. He agrees reluctantly and before the battle he sees Lucilla who is cooperating together with Sohaemus. Sohaemus calls the help of the Persians and eventually the Romans fight all together side-by-side against the common enemy. The segment is comprised of two tracks: Meeting in the East/Disillusionment/Armenian Treachery and Persian Battle/Return to Home. Original music by Dimitri Tiomkin. Conducted by Nic Raine for the 2011 Tadlow Re-recording.

I have never been a real big fan of Dimitri Tiomkin, for his music always sound layered over the film instead of being an integral part. But I have to say his scoring for The Fall Of The Roman Empire, was fantastic ! I think he was even nominated for an Oscar for his score.

Beautiful segment! Some parts of this masterpiece aren't included in the released Spotify albums yet. Thank you for uploading this.

I BELIEVE THIS IS THE RE-RECORDING BY THE CITY OF PRAGUE ORCHESTRA

I always thought his music was so intense. This soundtrack and The Guns of Navarrone always inspired me when I was in school. I always remember Sophia Loren’s face against the music. Thank you for this version.

Si il est mentionné Nic Raine pour la direction d'orchestre, alors il s'agit sûrement du City Of Prague Philharmonic.
