About
Miklós Rózsa feared that success as a film composer might overshadow his reputation as a composer of classical concert fare. He was right. Three Oscars and 17 Academy Award nominations tends to do that. The two worlds were strangely incompatible and forced Rózsa into what he called his “Double Life” – the title of both a film for which he won an Oscar and that of his autobiography. The three orchestral works presented here, from his early, middle and late phases, provide a charming introduction to his alternative side.

The immediate and endearing [impression] is the consistent Hungarian inflections: a characteristic just as audible in his many film scores , whether the subject’s the amorous life of Sherlock Holmes or the epic adventures of Ben-Hur.
