Rozsa: Three Choral Suites: Ben-Hur, Quo Vadis, and King of Kings.(Sound Recording Review)
Rozsa: Three Choral Suites: Ben-Hur, Quo Vadis, and King of Kings. Erich Kunzel, Cincinnati Pops Orchestra; Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Telarc CD80631.
Miklos Rozsa was to film music of the 1950s and '60s what Max Steiner, Franz Waxman, and Erich Wolfgang Korngold had been to the '30s and '40s and what John Williams has been since the 1970s. Rozsa, along with fellow 50s' and 60s' composer Dimitri Tiomkin, meant big, really BIG, film music. Epic scores for epic movies. And who better to present such music than Eric Kunzel, the most-popular record conductor of all time, with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Did I mention "Big"?
The three movie pieces collected on this disc derive from suites that Rozsa began but never finished. They have been arranged and reconstructed by Daniel Robbins, Christopher Palmer, Julian Kershaw, Joseph D. Price, and conductor Kunzel. Each suite lasts about twenty minutes, with the disc containing over an hour of music. The unifying elements are Christ, Christianity, and the Roman Empire. All of the music conveys pictorial variations of those central ideas.
