A sweeping score for a film of epic proportions, this music is filled with Roman, Greek, and Jewish elements. Rózsa conducted the 100-piece MGM Symphony Orchestra during twelve recording sessions which stretched over 72 hours. The biblical drama unfolds with a myriad of themes and the reinforcement of a mighty pipe organ underscoring the appearance...
