Rózsa, Miklós [Foreword by Antal Doráti] Miklós Rózsa (18 April 1907 - 27 July 1995) was a Hungarian-born composer.

(Book #ID 94271)

Published by The Baton Press, 44 Holden Park Road, Tunbridge Wells 1984. 1984.

Publisher's original photographic card wrap covers. 8vo. 9'' x 6''. Contains 224 printed pages of text with monochrome photographs throughout. Best known for his nearly one hundred film scores, he nevertheless maintained a steadfast allegiance to absolute concert music throughout what he called his "double life." Rózsa achieved early success in Europe with his orchestral Theme, Variations, and Finale (Op. 13) of 1933 and became prominent in the film industry from such early scores as The Four Feathers (1939) and The Thief of Bagdad (1940). The latter project brought him to America when production was transferred from wartime Britain, and Rózsa remained in the United States, becoming an American citizen in 1946. His notable Hollywood career earned him considerable fame, including Academy Awards for Spellbound (1945), A Double Life (1947), and Ben-Hur (1959), while his concert works were championed by such major artists as Jascha Heifetz, Gregor Piatigorsky, and János Starker.
