Interested in Early Music?
It was during the Renaissance that music developed into something that we can recognize in the compositions of today. Here we present two recordings which take you to the cradle of all classical music.

Hungarian/American composer Miklós Rózsa

Hungarian/American composer Miklós Rózsa was one of the founding fathers of film music, one of the greatest film score composers of all time. He scored the music for 93 films, among them Spellbound, Quo Vadis, Ben-Hur and King of Kings. But Rózsa also composed orchestral music, many of the works with the stamp of his Hungarian background. In two albums from the label Chandos you are invited to Rózsa’s orchestral music. Both available in FLAC 24, 16 and MP3.
