RE-RECORDINGS | #9 QUO VADIS
Our number 9 re-recording of all time is Miklos Rozsa’s QUO VADIS (1950.) The music was performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus conducted by the composer. The album was produced for Decca Phase 4 by Ray Few and has been recently re-released on Dutton Vocalion Records coupled with Rozsa’s re-recording of Ben-Hur with the National Philharmonic Orchestra.

Pretty damn awesome. My Rozsa output has been limited, but what I have heard, I have adored.
The don’t write scores now like they used to.
No they don’t, Richard. Thanks for your comments!
Double wow with this one. I have “El Cid” and “Ben Hur” in my collection and I love Rozsa. Man, this sounds like some great stuff in his epic style. Thanks for featuring it. I’ve moved “Quo Vadis” to the top of my list for my next Rozsa purchase.
Great to read comments like this. This is why I do the show! I’m glad I was able to introduce to you a score that you were unfamiliar with!
