Love this music

Awesome musical score to the GREATEST movie of all time - BEN -HUR.

It engulfs ones, Soul. Especially Jesus’s, music. ✨✝️🕊✨

MAGNIFICENT!

Greatness...🌎🌍🌏🙏

To Daruma: you are lucky. Really. I was child and I'll never forget the time I heared this musik by whatching Ben Hur to the cinema of my village in South Italy.

It’s literally music from the heavens thank you Mastero Rosza for Gods music , have been listening for many years now and always I will listen to this music from the heavens for all time.

What's his method like?

Kirsten, I don't think anyone has ever described it as aptly and beautiful as you. You hit the nail on the head.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Jim R!

I couldn't have said it any better, Kirsten!

Yes, this is a wonderful performance by the maestro himself. I have listened to this wonderful music since I was 7, and still am listening to it. I could say that I can not live without it.

"This is not only a film score - it's an epic symphonic poem". Kirsten, the best description ever.

I got one of those too. It has a book inside.

I too saw the movie, at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood in 59'. They had the original chariot used by Mesala outside by the entry. I came away with the full color program, and later my parents bought me the album. In my top 10 movies.

When i was 11 or 12 yrs old i saw this Movie with my Dad in the biggest cinema in our town, incl Overture and intermission...it was so impressive, and there is no Flat screen who can bring this movie to live like a dark big cinema filled with people...I love you Dad and this will be forever OUR Movie...

I’m not crying 😭

i went alsof with my dad i will never forget that

"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.

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

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

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.

Yeah, that's what they thought about THE PHANTOM MENACE before it came out.

The White Album!

Alone on a desert island, one album, "The Temptations Live At The Copa"...and nowhere to plug in my turntable!😫😫😫😫😫

That's For Sure

Your opinion. Others may not agree with you.

Yes, it's your opinion...and it's mine!! ;-D

Well he is amazing ... I liked El Cid even more but beauty of such proportions is so difficult to quantify.

I do agree! Greetings from Brazil.

Today's digital soundtrack not available back then lifts his music and instruments into an unforgetable level of perfection. My children now enjoy this greatest of films in a personal way. Miklos Roza was a musical genius.

The GREATEST Ever should not be used to describe one's favorite movie - because it is ALL a Matter of Individual likes and dislikes !

He should have won an Oscar for his soundtrack to King of Kings. but that movie wasn't as successful as Ben-Hur so he didn't get the credit he deserved.

Yes, it's truly a "religious experience" just listening to this great Opus -

You are absolutely right ! Each time I listen this music, which for me is the best movie music, I always think of God and His wonderful plan for salvation !

Yes….

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️😢😢😢😢😢😢

Yes

Yes!!!

I heard this fantastic score as an 8 year old child with a Church group. Back then in Chicago it was at a beautiful theater. So much larger than life. Wow it was one of my best childhood experiences. So beautiful. I still play it often.

And his soundtrack to King of Kings was just as good.

@@robertshaw7132 I agree

Chris Thorton So was the incredibly gorgeous Haya Harareet in the role of 'Esther'. Jewish beauty at its finest.

ningún actor como charlton heston

An dvd special edition haves this option

+B Davis Indeed. One of those rare moments in time when a great movie is matched by an equally great soundtrack.

Music must be from the heavens , go to a higher level of life when hearing Rozsa’s spectacular music from Ben Hur.

Yes!!!!

Years ago, he came to Birmingham Alabama to a Book a Million deparment store, near where ws were living, to sign or promote his book , I think it was "Blood and Sand", or something like this, and, that day I went there to buy something, and, what a surprise!,,There he was, very tall and handsome, kind to everybody, smiling, very humble, and very patient, too, signing all those books. So, I took some photos of him, and I decided to send them to my country, so my sister could have them, because, she admired him very much...Well, I found out, later, that my sister, never received those photos!!...They were "lost"!....What a pity!!!.....But, I am very thankful, I saw him!.....

Became your FAVORITE actor

Wow just wow... Thx God for miklos and Willie wyler and chuck

BEN HUR: I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT FEELS SHIVERS!!!! I'M SPEECHLESS WHEN I HEAR THIS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC THAT SENDS ME TO ANOTHER DIMENSION!!! I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT MUSIC MUST BE LIKE IN HEAVEN!! IT MUST BE INCOMPARABLE!!! TQ KINDLY FOR YOUR COMMENT!!! MANY GREETINGS + BLESSINGS! !! 😊

Magyar zseni:)

@Roselyne Walter ???

@Roselyne Walter You claimed something/somebody is "silly". What/who is silly and why?

@Roselyne Walter I do not think I'm a moron. You had written a one word statement -"Silly" - and I wanted to understand what you meant. I Just asked and you did not answer, but offend. It is strange at least, if not messaging you are a moron.

@Roselyne Walter Take your meds.

Great Masterpiece

exacto, te transporta

Mis respetos ..genios !

Ya no componen así. Suena a música de plástico, la música cinematográfica. Evidentemente en aquella época también había muchos de sobra. Eran la mayoría, de hecho. Solo no estoy de acuerdo con algo: yo los pondría en el tercer cielo a Miklós, a John y a Ennio.

@@eltiogottlieb.4911 Ufff, Ennio Morricone también es otro de los grandes, para muchos su mejor pieza es el "Éxtasis de oro", pero mi favorita es "Giu la testa", igual podría sugerir a James Horner pero es solo un gusto personal.

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

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

. . . me thinks it is ALL of Miklos Rozsa's doing - any mystical god has Nothing to do with it !

Amen

God bless you. I am from Brasil..

Heavenbound Daughter I feel it.

Definitely

Amen!

@@colleencox2927 Dio sia con te!!!!!.....Ri-Amen......

Jesus Christ is LORD!

ha awesome me and my hubby did the same!

Great

Everytime when i be in Pula (Croatia) in front of the ancient Arena (google this) i have that score in my head...no wonder that Rosza wrote that into the collosseum in rome.

Except the film scene was set in a supposed Jerusalem Circus.

I can’t go to the collesium. There’s no way I could without screaming “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!”

Es perfecta

Insuperable 💯

AVE Caesar, AVE Jupiter, AVE Miklos !!

@@wibejesa --- Sobrepasa por mucho.....BRAVO desde Acapulco!

The film was a bore for me, I have no time for religion or politics, the music however was exquisite.

Mine too 😊

Opino lo mismo hermano.. Rubén desde Argentina

Lleven a Los Ninos a ver esta obra de arte a un cinema. Tiene que verse en la gran pantalla. Yo la vi en el cinema Olaya. Chorrillos en Lima Peru 🇵🇪

the greatest orchestra ever i watched

No shit, Sherlock..obviously he was.

'Epic' is the perfect word for this music.

Or at least one of His very gifted archangels? Perhaps one of the new Directors of Music in Heaven?

Concordo!

L'un des meilleurs enregistrements de cet authentique chef-d'œuvre est aussi celui réalisé par Decca en 77, dans lequel Miklós Rózsa dirige le National Philharmonic Orchestra.

Vous avez raison, je me suis laissé entraîner par l'enthousiasme. Il ne faut jamais dire "le meilleur" - il y a souvent meilleur encore, ou, comme dans le cas présent, aussi bien. Cordialement.

Je suis tout a fait d'accord.

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...

Are you not being just a bit too familiar by calling him by his first name. Bad manners on your part. It's Dr Rozsa for you.

Exucuse my manners, sir, but noboby can ofend for this words. But you are right: this man was a real genius... Sr. Rozsa.

@@jslasher1 you are a fucking goof

He was Hungarian, his name would've been Nicholas Rose in english ;) @@brendaalmonte1740

@@gregparadi i though Miklos was a variant of Nicholas (Greek name). Greetings from Dominican Republic. 🇩🇴

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

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.

there was a Ben-Hur remake this year (don't boot me for mentioning) - I can also hear his influence on John Williams :-)

Has Zimmer perfectly evokes the current generation, creating unimaginative, vacuous music for films of no great merit.

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