Notes
ROSZA: Orchestral Works, Volume 1
Miklós Rózsa is one of the giants of the film world with scores for Hollywood films such as Ben Hur, Quo Vadis, and El Cid. Once settled in Hollywood, Rózsa was able to negotiate a beneficial contract which allowed him to spend the summer months at his Italian retreat writing his concert music, while during the winter months composing music for films in Hollywood. The conductor Rumon Gamba comments, ‘Having made many discs of film music by composers whose concert works are well known, such as Malcolm Arnold and Vaughan Williams, I thought it would be interesting to turn to a very well-known film music composer and profile his concert works, which have perhaps been overshadowed by his big screen successes’. The film music of Miklós Rózsa is extremely exciting, passionate and intoxicating, and deserves to be better known. Gamba conducts the BBC Philharmonic in four works, all influenced in some way by Rózsa’s Hungarian roots.

Reviews
it i exciting and accessible music Rumon Gamba and the BBC Philharmonic play these scores with brilliance, and the Chandos sound is quite superlative.
The Penguin Guide - 1000 Greatest Classical Recordings 2011-12
This is an excellent introduction to Rozsa’s music, and the recording and performance are of the usual high standards
Liverpool Daily Post
The BBC Philharmonic turns in splendidly opulent playing on the Chandos disc – their Hungarian Serenade is more refined than the Budapest players’.
BBC Music Magazine
Excellent performances and superlative sound make this a most enjoyable overture to what should prove to be a most worthwhile enterprise.
Gramophone
Conductor Rumon Gamba has an ear for brightly coloured, luxuriant music and he presents it honestly, without hyperbole or ego.
