1959 Ben-Hur theme performed live by the John Wilson Orchestra - 2013 BBC Proms

Музыка

The impressive 'prelude' and 'parade of the charioteers' by composer Miklós Rózsa from the 1959 movie Ben-Hur. Wonderfully performed live by the John Wilson Orchestra at the 2013 BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall in London. No better orchestra in the world to do this!

At the very end, when Judah ascends the stairs to embrace his healed and restored mother and sister, along with the glorious accompanying music, I always start weeping tears of joy, just so moved by the power and majesty of the epic I've just witnessed. My favorite movie of all time, without a doubt. It just happend to be right at the beginning on the TV at an important stage of my life, at a time when I needed the message it contains. It has also helped me through some real struggles, and I seem to get something different out of it each time. My wife bought me a nice print of the "The Creation of Adam" portion of the Sistine Chapel, shown in the opening credits for our bedroom wall.

With all due respect, it is true that the Ben Hur story/character is fiction, and taken from a novel by Lew Wallace, but the Christian faith is real, and Christ was factually the Messiah, Son of God, and Redeemer of the human race from the sin that had beset it since the fall of Adam and Eve. God has offered us, as a free gift, redemption for our sins through Christ, God Himself made incarnate in human form, and it is up to us to accept and live accordingly. Unfortunately, too many people don't.

    +FriendofRamblinJack One of the interesting things about what you write is that Rozsa, who wrote some of the most beautiful Christian-themed music in Hollywood history, was not a Christian, but a Jew. In fact, when one looks at the history of ancient Roman times---as told through Hollywood eyes, much of the beautiful Christian music was written by great Jewish composers. Rozsa wrote "Ben-Hur" and "Quo Vadis." Alfred Newman wrote "The Robe" and three very non-Roman, but related Christian themed films, "The Egyptian" (with another Jewish composer, Bernard Herrmann), "A Man Called Peter" and "The Song of Bernadette." Franz Waxman, who was beaten on a Berlin street for being Jewish, escaped from Naziism to write the scores for "The Silver Chalice" and the beautiful"The Nun's Story." I don't know if these men were particularly observant in the Jewish faith, but they were forgiving in their professionalism, considering the way Christians have often treated Jewish people.

    Mr. Snyder, I just now saw your comment here. I am a child of the mid 50s, sir, so I am very aware of classics in all forms, Hollywood, composers, etc. I've seen many times all the pictures you stated, my favourite being Ben Hur. Having said that, one could also reply, in regards to your last statement, that Christian American Military Armed Forces could still harbor a grudge against the Israeli people and government for the deliberate attack causing the death of many sailors aboard the USS LIBERTY. HOWEVER, being a follower of Jesus Christ and a devout born-again Bible-adherent Christian, we love Israel and we stand with Israel as God Almighty YHWH commanded us, we forgive and we ask forgiveness. Having said all that, I was just telling my husband last night watching THE ROBE again for the umpeenth time, "Honey, look at how much beautiful music ever composed came from our Jewish brothers and sisters!" God bless you, Mr. Snyder. -- US COAST GUARD MOM, aka Friend of Ramblin Jack Elliott

It was in the evening, incl intermission ...i never forget that evening in my life. Fun fact: Especially for to see this movie again with my Dad on Eastern this year i bought a 65 " flat screen 4 K TV. I love you dad.

    Your story is lovely. To have seen (and listened to) the roadshow print of Ben-Hur is a memory you'll keep until your last day. Its unique image quality was achieved by the amazingly sharp MGM Camera 65, which had an enormous size and was equivalent to the SuperPanavision 70mm format popular during the Sixties. The Camera 65 tested successfully on MGMs 'Raintree County' (1957), and therefore the studio decided to use it for Ben-Hur. Such a phenomenal sharpness is best appreciated in the 50th Anniversary Blu-ray Edition (in the Valley of the Lepers first scene diminutive lizards are clearly seen running on the rocks, downwards right). It's worthwhile to check the only available (I believe) image of MGMs Camera 65 on IMDb, took by my mother while on location in Rome. She was an extra, one of the posh Roman ladies seated beside Pilate when Ben-Hur is crowned ''as their God''.

    I love every note of this masterpiece by Rozsa, especially the March of the Charioteers. Such a grand, commanding piece-you can almost see the horses in formation marching around the Arena. Just a sidenote: in the movie during the race, notice there's no musical soundtrack. Just the cheers of the audience, horses' hooves and chariots. Soundtrack would've distracted from the impact and intensity. Brilliant, superb direction. Deserved all 10 Oscars.
