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.
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 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.
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.
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 de Ben-Hur es el 50% de la película. Unas de las obras cinematográficas que perdurará en la historia y su banda sonora. Espectacular 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!!! ❤
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!!
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........
muy lindo, es una sensación indescriptible lo que los sonidos armónicos logran con estés maravillosos instrumentos, genial saludos desde cusco peru 2020
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!
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.
Eu tenho o vinil de quando o filme foi lançado,estou com 81 anos e ainda me emociono... Judá Ben Hur
4 de octubre de 2023. Se cumple un Centenario. Un Siglo del Nacimiento del Gran Charlton Heston. Mi Actor Favorito. Por Siempre.

Suddenly I am back in 1974 with my father watching this movie in the cinema. What a day to remember!
Terry. I’m totally amazed that this gentleman wrote all this. He was the composer. Truly a gift.
Amazing music.
Qué Belleza por Dios!,...vibra mi ser
I’ve seen the movie over 100 times, and this score still gives me chills. Glorious!
THIS IS JUST THE BEST SOUND YOU CAN EVER HEAR!!
I couldn’t agree more!
Épica ❤

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

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!
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.
Thanks to all these great musicians who realize these project
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
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.
Rome was Rozsa's favorite city and he composed a lot of it there!
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.
One of those handful of film scores that levitates you right off the seat

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!!!!
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.
Sí, hasta que cayó la teja de barro del techo y lo demás es historia….
@@billace90 jajajajajaja rompiste todo lo antes dicho 😂
Epic movie....They don't make 'em like that anymore....
Epic soundtrack too....Sure fit the film perfectly. Absolutely brilliant!
Magnifique!!!!
Magique ! On s'y croirait ! J'admire tous ces musiciens professionnels, qui restituent parfaitement l'ambiance du film, grandiose !
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 have the origional 33rpm record from this movie. As a young man the music was stirring. Thank you for bring back those memories.
Brilliant score, movie, acting, writing, and everything else.
The old recordings are good but it's fantastic to hear this great music from the studio!
Hermoso! Esgrime la piel y hace latir con fuerza el corazón
Divine music reminding his existence and the fact that he is above everything/everyone!!!
Maravillosa banda Sonora!!! Sin duda de la mejor película de todos los tiempos
Siamo ai livelli di Verdi.......o meglio ancora.
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...
The actual people that bring the movie to life with the most amazing musical instruments, you guys and gals are amazing!!
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.
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.
This score is so beautiful, I well up mostly everytime I hear it.
Una gran obra de arte en la música, gracias a Miklos Rosza, en paz descanse, será recordado por ello.👍🏻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saludos a todos.
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
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
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.
Charleston Heston he was good in this. I remember the movie with him in a chariot. Awesome
Fantastic orchestra -- the music is pristine and full of grandeur.
🎻🎹🎸جميل جدا موسيقى لا مثيل لها تعزو القلوب و النفوس.🎺🎷🥁
Just gets better and better...xxx
A brush with greatness! Seldom happens, but oh boy, when it does - it opens the door to another professional dimension - thank you

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
La mejor película de todos los tiempos a nivel mundial!!!, Hermoso tema, un abrazo fuerte desde Colombia, Dios les guarde!!!
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?
One of the best musical introduction ever....
The greatest music of all time!
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.

65 de ani de-atunci! BRAVOOOOO!!!!❤❤❤
The music is great. Ben-Hur is one of my favorites movies.Great job of the composer and musicians !
Its incredible...xxx amazing 👏 😍 🙌
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.
Ben Hur: love forever
OMNIPOTENT YET ABSOLUTELY SUBLIME AND
EXQUISITE!! SENDS SHIVERS THRU MY BODY!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!
TQ FOR SHARING A BRILLIANT REPERTOIRE!! ❤❤❤
Another great rendition of a classic film score. Thanks you. You are magnificent.
Es hermosa!!!! me pone la piel de gallina!!
THIS ORCHESTRA IS SUPERB IN THE SCORES THEY HAVE DONE OVER THE YEARS
The music was up there with that of El Cid.
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.
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!!! ❤
Una sola palabra, ESPECTACULAR.
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!!
Fantástico! Um filme inesquecível, com uma trilha sonora igualmente inesquecível!
One of the best movies and best score of all time!
Unforgetable...um misto de saudade e de esperança...e de lágrimas também.
Masterpiece! Gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it. Thank you Miklos Roza for this.
La mejor película de la Historia de Cine BEN HUR
Desde siempre...
@@flouserve jamás se podrá producir un film de esta envergadura...insupe- superable
Ben Hur una creación de Dios!
The power of Music
「賓漢」
60年前的好萊塢鉅片，得獎無數。
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........
Bravo !!!
Beautiful master piece....
La mejor película y el inmortal charlton heston
Lo mejor De todos los tiempos
En cualquier momento es propicio verla, pero es una película clásica de Semana Santa que no puede faltar.
Verdad! Muy grande.
I love this music and the movie I love all the movies with our great god Jesus Christ
Love everybody...xxx
Orchestra eccezionale
Suono sublime ❤️
hi the performances are second to none, even the original. excellent works boys and girls. CHEERS.
Its so me...xxx
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
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.
¡¡¡¡¡Grande Rosza!!!! música inmortal.
Miklos rozsa forse il più grande compositore di tutti tempi
Una musica che ricostruisce unicamente la grandezza e potenza di Roma
Sencillamente extraordinario...
muy lindo, es una sensación indescriptible lo que los sonidos armónicos logran con estés maravillosos instrumentos, genial saludos desde cusco peru 2020
Best brass ever heard in a motion picture soundtrack
Esta pelicula es espectacular y lamusica magistral, estamelodia megusta muchisimo, ,de lo mejor
Ben hur... Judo ben hur..
Magnificent!
Prague Philharmonic faithfully recreates the spirit of the original soundtrack performance! Bravo!
Gives me chills great music great movie the original.
From a time when Hollywood was great. A wonderful film of magnificent artistry and depth, with a brilliant score by the Master
