Miklós Rózsa El Cid - Overture / Prelude (Rerecording)

[drchepa]

rozsa was like one of his scores a trully king of kings composer, ben hur, el cid, spellbound, lust for life,etc....the best movie composer of all time in my opinion.

[cascalaburraca]

Dios que obra maestra. Felicitaciones al que las ha subido. Mil gracias!

[nadaib79]

It's awesome!

[KorvettenKapitan83]

This is my first comment about the dislikers, it is going to be a hate speech. Being human should also mean appreciating good work, inspiration, a common sense with some intelligence in it, this masterpiece has samples of all of these, so that disliker I guess is not human.

Especially during 80's, themes from this album was used in nationalist movies featuring Cüneyt Arkın as historic or fictious heroes of Seljuk and Ottoman eras. Almost every Turkish citizen therefore heard these themes...

[intermender]

I had just put on the fanfare prelude once loud on a stereo system in the shop when a boss happen to walk in just at that moment. Too late to stop it, I thought I was done for, but she merely paused, listened for a second then continued walking in regally waving to the crowd like a queen and was pleased as punch for the rest of the day :D (I guess I should have knelt and kissed her hand lol, but it was so funny and a relief, i wasn't thinking)

[wcw2793]

One of the only movies besides The Ten Commandments and Ben Hur that make me cry. Truly epic. Thank you Charlton Heston and Miklos Rosza. :)

[taijiqu]

@wcw2793 His Hungarian name can translate to Rose. (Miklós Rózsa)

[MrCrisBarajas]

[ProgBoys]

just magic...!

BRILLANTE E INTEMPORAL CONJUNCION,LA FILARMONICA DE PRAGA Y LA MUSICA DEL CID.

[Superare1]

The beginning minute and a half is like John Williams, but 20 years ahead of its time! Amazing music

nnDnn

[Gedooptics]

Love, love...LOVE this movie!!

[MrAlienbeing]

Two months ago I bought the three CD soundtrack of El Cid - the best CD of my 600+ collection. Also played in my car wherever I go. Rozsa as great as any of the composers who have ever lived.

[adhonores100]

Merci.

[Joelam400]

I always get this mixed up with Rimsky-Korsakov's Cappriccio Espagnol when I'm whistling...

[Joelam400]

Reminds me of Rimsky-Korsakov's Cappricio Espagnol, mvmt 4

[jvmoley]

god what great sound music when movies were memorable, the acting and the scrit was waqht made these movies great --- but it was ''the music'' that made them ;''unforgetble'' like'theme to''soldiers of fortune'' by friendenhoffer, clark gable and susan hayward

[NicollBolas]

Este score lo he escuchado infinidad de veces en 'Los pasajes de la Historia' de Juan Antonio Cebrián (DEP) y todavía no sabía que venía de aquí la cosa.

[MrDid59]

Listen to this song :

Mo'sean a great artist.

"Mo'sean : Give you my soul. "

[980graziella]

@MrDid59 Unbelievable...Ahahh!!!...You do like that wonderful masterpiece?...I just can't believe it...So, I can now give u a tip 'bout our idol...'cos I've heard about an Album near , very close...Right...Telepathy is here to stay!!!!!!!See u soon my friend...Peace...

[QuartuvLarry]

I listened to this song all the time while I was in Afghanistan...

Ah, the ignorant idealism of youth! Such an opiate of ego to believe that what you do is for a holy purpose...

I'm not so foolish now...

The GREATEST secular moral authority is our U.S. Constitution!

[Cuchasoft]

Mio Çid por Burgos entrove

en la su compaña saessenta pendones

onmes e mulleres eixíen lo veer

burgueses e burguesas por las finiestras son

de las sus bocas todos dizían una misma razón

"Dios qué buen vassallo si oviesse buen señor!"

[crasmane1]

For this generation, I'd also say that Thomas Newman was important. American Beauty, Glenngarry, Glen Ross, The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption soundtracks were all composed by him.

[Sydenham519]

THANK YOU!!!

[Chaos7420]

I remember playing this song my freshmen year in HS...I HATE THIS SONG!!!!!!! It was so damn fucking hard to play...that and I was tha only first clarinet in my band....I REALLY HATE THIS SONG!!!

[zeekwolfe]

Why is the use of an obscene word for sexual intercourse necessary in commentary on this video? There are other adverbs that would work just as well.

[wrybreadspread]

@zeekwolfe

i would agree the scrotal reference is inapropos--but-alas-comparativ­ely mild anymore-the other word (F)dominates the media--tv shows, movies, even youtube replies

[hourlynewscaster]

Well, some of we older folks think that CD is too crisp. I guess it's all what you're conditioned to hear. Give me a scratch-free vinyl record anytime. God, I love Rozsa's music from "El Cid." I wish more of his concert work were posted. Dennis

[videolgs95]

Rozsa was last generation's, this generation's composer is John Williams

[Unholycrimsonshoes]

I disagree, not that Rozsa was last generation, but about John Williams. His scores while memorable do not really do all that much for the film, and he is not really that important now. If you want to assign a composer tot the generation, pick Howard Shore, or Hans Zimmer (very influential), or maybe Javier Navarrete (not actually all that familiar with his work outside of Pan's Labyrinth.)

[thewritingwriterof89]

I would agree that Hans Zimmer is this generation's composer, at least in terms of influence, but really, can you imagine Star Wars without John Williams, or ET, or Indiana Jones, or...i could go on and on.

[firmingitup]

@Unholycrimsonshoes

Wow you think? So when you hear "The Imperial Theme" in Star Wars as Darth Vader comes out, you think that does nothing for the film? And even though its not a film, the Olympic theme doesn't stir you at all? (I could list many others of his scores but dont have the time) You're certainly entitled to your opinion but I dont see where its coming from. I certainly don't think Hans Zimmer is a composer for this generation. Many of his scores sound similar.

[happytrailstoyou999]

The Moslems were driven back from their invasion of Europe through Spain and then by way of Austria at Vienna. It appears this time they will succeed in over runing Europe beyond their dreams. Moslem nations do not practice birthcontrol or abortion and God approves.

[ElCid48]

happytrailstoyou999.

Back in those days European (and American) men had REAL balls. Now they don't have any. :(

[happytrailstoyou999]

My God, digital sounds so much more robust than 33 1/3 rpm vinyl. Even MP3 souds wounderful In the 1960s people spend big bucks for sterio equipment that is not as good as a $20 MP3.

[MAQQABA1]

miklos rozsa es inmortal!!!

[binmeimaya]

Quo Vadis, Ben Hur, King of Kings, Sodom and Gomorrah and El Cid are my favorites. I couldn't find Sodom and Gomorrah anywhere. Please someone upload the score.

[AnaksBane]

You need to start looking in either Sanfrancisco or Toronto for those two places! just be sure when you find them don't look back... remember Lots wife!

[bawdybill]

Try the music of Max Steiner, Dmitri Tiomkin, Erich Korngold, Elmer Bernstein to name just a few of the classically trained film composers. Jarre and Barry are pretty damn good, too.

[epaubel]

One of the greatest musical achivements of all time. Some stupids say film music is a second class product... Rozsa is the ultimate musician.

[budelke]

the prelude sounds great on this re-recording,

[rossanamizunski]

Miklós Rózsa was the best composer of sountracks ever!

[pubsterguy]

Rozsa's was great , but to say the greatest is unfair there are so many others

[toryuenrique]

Imposible escuchar esta musica y no imaginarse la meseta castellana...

[iduefoscari]

The best film score ever!
