The Mother of all Movie Scores. Still unbeaten in almost 2023. Miklos Rozsa was an incredible genius. Wonderful recording. I have the cds and listen often.
... I saw this film in-theatre, first-release, reserved seating, in its full theatrical aspect. The opening trumpet fanfare came from the speakers at the back of the theatre, which no one had ever heard before. Then, the side speakers came in, ditto, with the behind-screen speakers then added, ditto. Within seconds, we were completely *within* the unseen orchestra, looking at each other in sheer wonder. This was a brilliant foreshadowing of Surround Sound. During the chariot race scene, the sound was "revolved" to match the POV onscreen. *Half the audience was under their seats in sheer terror.* *Beyond breathtaking.*
I saw this at its opening ceremony with my mother and brother. I can’t begin to describe how much I love this movie. On my list of favorite films its 10
Saw this with my church group at age15 or 16. Still brings tears to my eyes and the incredible music is etched in time as one of the great overtures ever written. Simple words do not do justice of how spectacular this film and music score truly were back then and still live on so many years later. Simply breath taking.
La Obertura de la película BEN HUR, escrita por Miklos Rosza es una de las marchas más emotivas por su belleza y su grandiosidad, hoy en día muy contados músicos tienen tanta creatividad y talento.
Today, music can be generated digitally and be "technically" perfect. This is an example of why live orchestration is just … better. I would have loved to have been in the studio itself to hear this live.
I agree. Nothing is better than a glorious professional in whatever field, the privilege of watching magic. Music is by far the best. We all have our skills, our specialties.
Just because its digital, doesn’t mean it’s perfect. These musicians display perfection of their art. Also music has gone backwards, new music is indistinguishable from one song to the next...so mediocre.
And why before composers were better no software was available in this times so you must know to write the music. Sadly music composers of today are unable to write music this way anymore. For them it’s impossible to work without a studio an music programes, softwares, indeed the keyboard is synthetic and is called controller. Today’s music is only a pastiche. Hollywood had decayed and soundtrack music too, R.
Miklós Rózsa must've undoubtedly lived during Roman times since I find it hard to believe that this genius of composer was able to write this sensational masterpiece. It's mind-boggling! Back in 1967 my old man (gone now) took me to the cinema to see this spectacular film where the soundtrack somehow stayed in the back of my mind ever since. Magnificent.
My favorite movie! My favorite actor, Charlton Heston. My favorite movie soundtrack! My favorite composer. Thank you for sharing this video here. Love it! ❤️
If the world and civilization survives a million years, this piece will rank in the top three movie soundtracks of all time, up there with Lawrence of Arabia and Exodus.
Your opinion. I beg to differ. One of the 10 greatest film scores, alongside "The Best Years of Our Lives", "Spartacus", "Vertigo", "The Big Country", "Captain from Castile", etc.
La banda sonora de Ben-Hur es el 50% de la película. Unas de las obras cinematográficas que perdurará en la historia y su banda sonora. Espectacular 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Miklos Rosza left us one of his finest, and defining soundtracks that know no age. Opening trumpet notes let us know something wonderful and joyous is about to happen...and it did. Ben-Hur was wrapped around the Story of Christ.
Enorme música, enorme Charlton, enorme película ,época de ORO del cine (USA), simplemente insuperable, Ahhhh ! y sin tanto avance en tecnologia digital!!, por eso es INSUPERABLE. Saludos desde Mexico
I just can't get over how clear and crisp every note is. It's so perfect, I can hear a pianissimo of a flute over the horns...it's absolutely phenomenal. This recording is allowing me to enjoy the score in a way that I've never done before.
BEN HUR TEMA MUSICAL POR MIKLO ROZSAS UN COMPOSITOR DE ALTO CALIBRE!!! SE IMAGINA Y SE APRECIA LA MARCHA MILITAR DE LOS ROMANOS UN PODER OMNIPOTENTE!!! PRECIOSA PELÍCULA CON CHARLESTON HESTON Y STEVEN BOYD. MIL GRACIAS!!! ❤
Hermosa marcha romana, mi imaginación vuela hacia aquellos días de gloria de todas las legiones marchando con toda elegancia, coraje y valentía por todo el imperio.
Admirable orchestra with this beautiful music that was heard in the great movie Ben Hur. Excellent. I always listen to her but I just dared to comment. Satisfying to hear it.
The epic movie of all epics. Sure it has some faults, however when it comes to total cinematic entertainment Ben~Hur (1959) tops them all. A music score from possibly the finest movie composer ever seals the deal.
La banda sonora que jamás puedo pensar que se pueda igualar, me dispara la memoria cada escena de Charlton Heston en gigante actuación, esa película me llegó hasta los huesos la primera vez que la vi, vaya me emociona hasta las lágrimas
It's like I'm watching the movie all over again. Such an incredible score; so full of creative textures and chord progressions. Sets the stage beautifully for a wonderful movie.
Si esta película no la he visto cuarenta veces, no la he visto ninguna. Por la interpretación de todo su elenco, por lo que que nos dice, amor , odio , sacrificio , valentía humildad , soberbia arrogancia. Y sobre todo escuchar la música del gran maestro Miklos Rózsa. Enhorabuena William Wyler director.
Good Rendition! I was in the fifth row of a theater back in '59 listening to this on surround sound speaker's and being stunned and very interested! I wasn't At All disappointed with the movie. It was Brilliant!
These talented people that can bring music to life like this are amazing. This is real music, real talent. It has taken me awhile to learn what is real music. My hat is off to all you talented people who can bring this music to life. Stuff I listened to as a kid is slowly slipping away to where I don't even care if I ever hear it again.
Suprema música! Fantástica. Llevo casi 40 años pensando que el monumental soundtrack de esta película es parte fundamental de su gloria y magnificencia. Ben Hur es todo un portento de película.
Gira en torno al perdón... La fe y el amor... Charlton Heston hizo junto a los diez mandamientos, las dos piezas inmorales del cine...y siempre estuvo ahí para hacerlas más grandiosas el Maestro Miklos Roszas
Al escuchar esa música y ver los escenarios de ben hur de la película me transporto a esa época viajando en el tiempo al pasado y asi fue realmente la Roma imperialista........
I am so amazed at this beautiful score. An imagining of what Roman felt like that captivates the audience (however inaccurately). Rozsa was inspired composer writing real music when others in academia were writing "the new music". My composition teacher at UCLA advised Rozsa on this score. By coincidence I live just one block from the the sound stage. What a beautiful area to live. Thank you again City of Prague orchestra for making the recording.
I saw the Movie long Time age on TV, the impression on me was average. But in other hand, beieng a long Time fan of Miklos Rozsa's music, I can but approve the general opinion about Miklos ' music. As Always his musical composition is very impressive. As sometimes, his composition is better than the Movie itself (I think for instance of King of Kings). But i agree this composition is awsome, greatness and lyric in its allsome.
Espectacular!!!! La mejor banda sonora de la mejor película de todos los tiempos a nivel mundial!!!! Dios les bendiga, nos vemos el la nueva Jerusalén!!
One of the finest soundtracks of all time.
Of course !
For me, THE BEST.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sometimes I think it is second to none...
This music is so magical.
Yes, perhaps the best!
4 de octubre de 2023. Se cumple un Centenario. Un Siglo del Nacimiento del Gran Charlton Heston. Mi Actor Favorito. Por Siempre.
Idem, meu ator preferido!

Eu tenho o vinil de quando o filme foi lançado,estou com 81 anos e ainda me emociono... Judá Ben Hur

Suddenly I am back in 1974 with my father watching this movie in the cinema. What a day to remember!
I’ve seen the movie over 100 times, and this score still gives me chills. Glorious!
Qué Belleza por Dios!,...vibra mi ser
THIS IS JUST THE BEST SOUND YOU CAN EVER HEAR!!
I couldn’t agree more!
Épica ❤

Terry. I’m totally amazed that this gentleman wrote all this. He was the composer. Truly a gift.
Amazing music.

A trick : you can watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Lian Ian yup, I have been watching on flixzone for months myself :D
And why before composers were better no software was available in this times so you must know to write the music. Sadly music composers of today are unable to write music this way anymore.

Rome was Rozsa's favorite city and he composed a lot of it there!
My favorite movie! My favorite actor, Charlton Heston. My favorite movie soundtrack! My favorite composer. Thank you for sharing this video here. Love it! ❤️
One of those handful of film scores that levitates you right off the seat
If the world and civilization survives a million years, this piece will rank in the top three movie soundtracks of all time, up there with Lawrence of Arabia and Exodus.
I also would include the 1977 classic: JESUS OF NAZARETH!!..
Your opinion. I beg to differ. One of the 10 greatest film scores, alongside "The Best Years of Our Lives", "Spartacus", "Vertigo", "The Big Country", "Captain from Castile", etc.
DANCES WITH WOLVES ,1492 ,LAST OF THE MOHICANS ,BRAVEHEART,THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST
Without a doubt
Amen I admired this music since I was 10 years old watching the film it was my God's calling raised in a conservative family of old Christians
BEN HUR insuperable
ricordo sempre quella scena dei vogatori.. e il console quinto ARIO. LO CHIAMO' CON QUELLA E FAMOSA FRASE . 41...
Certamente
Which one? The remake?
@@NJTDover Oh God no...the 1959 version is the best!
Hermoso! Esgrime la piel y hace latir con fuerza el corazón
La banda sonora de Ben-Hur es el 50% de la película. Unas de las obras cinematográficas que perdurará en la historia y su banda sonora. Espectacular 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
absultamente de acuerdo contigo. Pero esa musica esta intimamente ligada a la obra de Cristo en la Cruz. La musica habla de la gloria de El solo de El
The beginning piece always makes me cry. It's SO BEAUTIFUL as it should be. It is the BEST movie EVER!!!!
Divine music reminding his existence and the fact that he is above everything/everyone!!!
Miklos Rosza left us one of his finest, and defining soundtracks that know no age. Opening trumpet notes let us know something wonderful and joyous is about to happen...and it did. Ben-Hur was wrapped around the Story of Christ.
Magique ! On s'y croirait ! J'admire tous ces musiciens professionnels, qui restituent parfaitement l'ambiance du film, grandiose !
I have the origional 33rpm record from this movie. As a young man the music was stirring. Thank you for bring back those memories.
Enorme música, enorme Charlton, enorme película ,época de ORO del cine (USA), simplemente insuperable, Ahhhh ! y sin tanto avance en tecnologia digital!!, por eso es INSUPERABLE.

Epic movie....They don't make 'em like that anymore....
Epic soundtrack too....Sure fit the film perfectly. Absolutely brilliant!
65 de ani de-atunci! BRAVOOOOO!!!!❤❤❤
「賓漢」
60年前的好萊塢鉅片，得獎無數。
I just can't get over how clear and crisp every note is. It's so perfect, I can hear a pianissimo of a flute over the horns...it's absolutely phenomenal.
This recording is allowing me to enjoy the score in a way that I've never done before.
And they use real instruments!
Modern movie themes are made using computer and all string sections are computer generated...
Brilliant score, movie, acting, writing, and everything else.
The actual people that bring the movie to life with the most amazing musical instruments, you guys and gals are amazing!!
BEN HUR TEMA MUSICAL POR MIKLO ROZSAS UN COMPOSITOR DE ALTO CALIBRE!!! SE IMAGINA Y SE APRECIA LA MARCHA MILITAR DE LOS ROMANOS UN PODER OMNIPOTENTE!!!

אני מאד אוהב מוסיקה מסרטים בעיקר את המוסיקה מבן חור , מדרום פסיפיק ומהסנדק אני אובה יותר מכל ואני מאזין להם שנים רבות מאד ובתדירות גבוהה מאד.
The old recordings are good but it's fantastic to hear this great music from the studio!
A brush with greatness! Seldom happens, but oh boy, when it does - it opens the door to another professional dimension - thank you
Maravillosa banda Sonora!!! Sin duda de la mejor película de todos los tiempos
Siamo ai livelli di Verdi.......o meglio ancora.

Charleston Heston he was good in this. I remember the movie with him in a chariot. Awesome
It's like I'm watching the movie all over again. Such an incredible score; so full of creative textures and chord progressions. Sets the stage beautifully for a wonderful movie.
Fantastic orchestra -- the music is pristine and full of grandeur.
Una musica che ricostruisce unicamente la grandezza e potenza di Roma
Si esta película no la he visto cuarenta veces, no la he visto ninguna. Por la interpretación de todo su elenco, por lo que que nos dice, amor , odio , sacrificio , valentía humildad , soberbia arrogancia. Y sobre todo escuchar la música del gran maestro Miklos Rózsa.

Just gets better and better...xxx

Muy favorite film !! thanks Miklos Rozsa for the fantastic music

Miklos rozsa forse il più grande compositore di tutti tempi
PERFECT..EXCELLENT..BEST FILM TUNE..
One of the best movies and best score of all time!
Wonderfull sound.nice to see a full orchestra in its working clothes
Good Rendition! I was in the fifth row of a theater back in '59 listening to this on surround sound speaker's and being stunned and very interested! I wasn't At All disappointed with the movie. It was Brilliant!
sir, how old were you then and are you still alive?
Una sola palabra, ESPECTACULAR.
Es hermosa!!!! me pone la piel de gallina!!
I love how Europeans just make pure music. No union, no sponsorship event, just music.
There's a union.
@@baronmedusethat guy is basically telling on himself. Next sentence would probably be "I appreciate Europeans for not having any bla..."
Amazing a moving piece of music and you try to make it political- shame on you
These talented people that can bring music to life like this are amazing. This is real music, real talent. It has taken me awhile to learn what is real music. My hat is off to all you talented people who can bring this music to life. Stuff I listened to as a kid is slowly slipping away to where I don't even care if I ever hear it again.
OMNIPOTENT YET ABSOLUTELY SUBLIME AND

Pienso igual que ud.. Un pedazo de obra musical..
Podríase decir que es la película cumbre del Chato Heston.
Indudablemente un actorazo.
Amo esse som desde crianca tenho 56 aos continou escutando
The music is great. Ben-Hur is one of my favorites movies.Great job of the composer and musicians !
BEN HUR é o Maior longa Metragem de todos os Tempos, Com uma trilha Sonora Sem igual.
Al escuchar esa música y ver los escenarios de ben hur de la película me transporto a esa época viajando en el tiempo al pasado y asi fue realmente la Roma imperialista........
Masterpiece! Gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it. Thank you Miklos Roza for this.
Its incredible...xxx amazing 👏 😍 🙌
Another great rendition of a classic film score. Thanks you. You are magnificent.
What a masterpiece from Miklos Rozsa! I think John Williams also drew upon this for Star Wars. I should also say that this is a brilliant preformance.
Williams was a Rozsa disciple. Also takes a lot from classics from romantic like Holst, Dvorak, Brukner, etc. And the concept of leitmotiv from Wagner
I am so amazed at this beautiful score. An imagining of what Roman felt like that captivates the audience (however inaccurately). Rozsa was inspired composer writing real music when others in academia were writing "the new music". My composition teacher at UCLA advised Rozsa on this score.

Fantástico! Um filme inesquecível, com uma trilha sonora igualmente inesquecível!
THIS ORCHESTRA IS SUPERB IN THE SCORES THEY HAVE DONE OVER THE YEARS
La mejor película de la Historia de Cine BEN HUR

Ben Hur una creación de Dios!
Miklos Rozsa genio de las fanfarreas y marchas. Es un deleite escuchar sus producciones.
There are few Soundtracks that are this special. Rosa must have been possessed when he wrote this.
Espectacular!!!! La mejor banda sonora de la mejor película de todos los tiempos a nivel mundial!!!! Dios les bendiga, nos vemos el la nueva Jerusalén!!
He Has Risen and is Forever and Ever. This score still makes me nod and smile. Still one of the best musical compositions and movies ever made.
You can almost feel the power of the Legion marching.

From a time when Hollywood was great. A wonderful film of magnificent artistry and depth, with a brilliant score by the Master
Exceptional and Superb!
Greatest epic score
中学生の時にベンハーの映画を鑑賞しこの曲をコンクールの自由曲として先輩方は演奏をされた。いまでも思い出深い曲でありあの当時を思い出します。
