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
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.
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.
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.
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 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My favorite movie! My favorite actor, Charlton Heston. My favorite movie soundtrack! My favorite composer. Thank you for sharing this video here. Love it! ❤️
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!! ❤
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!!
muy lindo, es una sensación indescriptible lo que los sonidos armónicos logran con estés maravillosos instrumentos, genial saludos desde cusco peru 2020
Regardless of how good this re-recording might appear to be it will never equal, much less surpass, Dr Rozsa's original soundtrack recording. Rozsa's 'Ben-Hur' is one of the greatest motion picture scores of all time.
Huna música tan extraordinaria que jamás pasara y siempre quedará en la retina, película fantástica la carrera de cuadrigas es imposible hacerlo mejor, gracias Norteamérica por esas películas de ensueño que pudimos disfrutar, Huna época de oro con ese cine
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!

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

Suddenly I am back in 1974 with my father watching this movie in the cinema. What a day to remember!
THIS IS JUST THE BEST SOUND YOU CAN EVER HEAR!!
I couldn’t agree more!
Épica ❤
This musical power is outstanding.
It's mighty and immeasurable. I see in my mind the Roman Legions marching through the streets of Rome and the Emperor giving them his thumb up.
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
4 de octubre de 2023. Se cumple un Centenario. Un Siglo del Nacimiento del Gran Charlton Heston. Mi Actor Favorito. Por Siempre.
Thanks to all these great musicians who realize these project
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!

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
🎻🎹🎸جميل جدا موسيقى لا مثيل لها تعزو القلوب و النفوس.🎺🎷🥁
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
I’ve seen the movie over 100 times, and this score still gives me chills. Glorious!
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
The old recordings are good but it's fantastic to hear this great music from the studio!

Qué Belleza por Dios!,...vibra mi ser
One of the best movies and best score of all time!
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...
Maravillosa banda Sonora!!! Sin duda de la mejor película de todos los tiempos
Siamo ai livelli di Verdi.......o meglio ancora.
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.

This score is so beautiful, I well up mostly everytime I hear it.
Wonderfull sound.nice to see a full orchestra in its working clothes
Epic movie....They don't make 'em like that anymore....
Epic soundtrack too....Sure fit the film perfectly. Absolutely brilliant!
Muy favorite film !! thanks Miklos Rozsa for the fantastic music
Charleston Heston he was good in this. I remember the movie with him in a chariot. Awesome

Indudablemente un actorazo.

Es hermosa!!!! me pone la piel de gallina!!
The greatest music of all time!
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.
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
Ben Hur: love forever

OMNIPOTENT YET ABSOLUTELY SUBLIME AND
EXQUISITE!! SENDS SHIVERS THRU MY BODY!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!
TQ FOR SHARING A BRILLIANT REPERTOIRE!! ❤❤❤
Masterpiece! Gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it. Thank you Miklos Roza for this.
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.

The power of Music
I have the origional 33rpm record from this movie. As a young man the music was stirring. Thank you for bring back those memories.
Unforgetable...um misto de saudade e de esperança...e de lágrimas também.
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.
Just gets better and better...xxx
Another great rendition of a classic film score. Thanks you. You are magnificent.
Una sola palabra, ESPECTACULAR.
BEATIFUL MOVIE
R.I.P Charlton Heston.
Gives me chills great music great movie the original.
La mejor película y el inmortal charlton heston

The musicians are God given gifts to the world of entertainment
hi the performances are second to none, even the original. excellent works boys and girls. CHEERS.
Miklos rozsa forse il più grande compositore di tutti tempi
Best brass ever heard in a motion picture soundtrack
Hermoso me encanta el fondo musical de la pelicula Ben Hur
Great, Roman soldiers march
Thanks
How emotional!
Regardless of how good this re-recording might appear to be it will never equal, much less surpass, Dr Rozsa's original soundtrack recording. Rozsa's 'Ben-Hur' is one of the greatest motion picture scores of all time.
No doubt! The greatest score of all time!
@@berylphilip2171 The greatest score of all time is Friedhofer's "The Best Years of Our Lives'. Rozsa's "Ben-Hur" is in the top five, however.
Wow Makes me feel like I’m at the theater watching BEN HuR Movie for the First Time.
GreAt SounD
Miklos rosza ur a real gem......
They got more into this performance than many of the other big orchestras of the world concert performances.
From a time when Hollywood was great. A wonderful film of magnificent artistry and depth, with a brilliant score by the Master
Sublime eccezionale
Prague Philharmonic faithfully recreates the spirit of the original soundtrack performance! Bravo!
Miklos Rozsa genio de las fanfarreas y marchas. Es un deleite escuchar sus producciones.
Mi favorite grandiosity sublime,una obra maestra
