One of Rozsa's most famous compositions, based on the music he wrote for Hitchcock's psychological thriller "Spellbound" in 1945. This performance is by the Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Rozsa with Leonard Pennario at the piano in 1960.
I have a copy of DVD of Spellbound just for this opening music!

Thank you so much. Wonderful music.. Really unforgetable. A certain Jerry Goldsmith saw the movie in 1945 and decided there and then to become a film composer and to marry Ingrid Bergman.

I just realized this concerto was on a record I used to listen to each night when I was little, had no idea that it was from Rozsa's Spellbound!

@papoocanada Sting chords at 1:28 unusual for a piano concerto but this was a film score
