A good start for those who are getting acquainted with Rozsa

"This CD contains some of Miklos Rozsa's finest film scores, but the pieces are abbrieviated (some of them are only up to 5 minutes in length). Nevertheless, they are still good. My biggest problem with the album was there was not enough pieces from QUO VADIS (my personal favorite). Other than that, the CD is a fine start for those of us (like me) who are getting acquianted with this excellent composer."
GREAT EPIC FILM MUSIC

"ROZSA'S MUSIC THRILLED ME AS A CHILD AND IT STILL DOES NOW. A MUST FOR ANY LOVER OF FILM SCORES."
Rozsa's Best Work

"Miklos Rozsa composed some impressive scores. These are among his best. These recordings and selections are outstanding. Mother's Love from BEN-HUR is very emotional. The Spellbound: Concerto is also included.

Very Poor Sound Quality

"I read a review of the "Three Choral Suites - Ben Hur, Quo Vadis, King of Kings by Erich Kunzel-Cincinnati Pops Orchestra and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir"(a TELARC release)that said something like this: "If you really want to hear how this music should sound get the 'Miklos Rozsa Conducts His Epic Film Scores'." I already had the former disc (and love it) so I ordered this suggested CD. I was excited to hear what this music "should sound like" so when it arrived and I played it, I could not have been more shocked. It is the most "tinny" (high pitched) sounding recording I have ever heard. The quality of this recording is horrible. If you have a good sound system that brings out the essence of the music with presence and warmth you, too, will be disappointed in this CD. (Unless you are one that favor gimmicks, high sounding flavors, and/or cookbook-style sound that strays from the total fidelity of the original source. To you, I say, enjoy.)"
