Miklós Rózsa, a Hungarian-American composer, is celebrated for his prolific and influential career in both film and classical music. Born in Budapest, Rózsa's journey took him through Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and ultimately to the United States, where he spent the majority of his professional life. His extensive filmography includes nearly one hundred scores, with standout works for iconic films such as "The Thief of Baghdad," "Ben-Hur," and "Spellbound." Rózsa's score for "Ben-Hur" remains one of the longest and most celebrated in cinematic history.
