TADLOW MUSIC
Presents
THE CLASSIC FILM MUSIC EVENT OF THE DECADE!
The World Premiere Digital Recording of the Complete Score to
BEN-HUR
Composed by
MIKLÓS RÓZSA
A Special Collector’s Edition 2-CD Set featuring one of the greatest film scores of all time from the Composer of EL CID * SPELLBOUND * KING OF KINGS * THE PRIVATE LIFE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES * QUO VADIS * JULIUS CAESAR * THE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE * LUST FOR LIFE * TIME AFTER TIME * THE THIEF OF BAGDAD
Under the supervision of producer Fitzpatrick, this new Ben-Hur CD has been created by the outstanding City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus under the superb baton of Nic Raine. Hearing many full versions of the film cues and some that were never recorded before, generations new and old will be exposed to my father’s epic masterpiece in its entirety for the first time. Ben-Hur was one of my father’s favourite scores; he worked on it for over a year – mostly in his beloved Italy. He won the richly deserved Academy Award (his third) for Best Music score. He would have been ever so pleased with this new CD – as am I – and I thank Tadlow Music and James Fitzpatrick for producing my father’s magnum opus, recorded in rich digital 21st-century sound, “in all its majestic glory.”
Bravo!!
—Juliet Rozsa, May 2017
