Скачать или смотреть Happy Birthday, Miklos Rozsa - Overture and prelude of SPELLBOUND (1945)

In observance of the 103rd birthday of the brilliant Hungarian-born Hollywood film composer Miklós Rózsa (1907-1995), I've uploaded the overture, prelude and exit music of SPELLBOUND (1945), in which Rózsa earned his first of three Academy Award wins in the category of Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture.

A native of Budapest, Hungary, Miklós Rózsa studied the violin from the age of five. In 1926, he began studying at the Leipzig Conservatory. While living in Paris from 1931, Rózsa had his "Variations on a Hungarian Peasant Song" and his "Symphony and Serenade for Small Orchestra" performed. After settling in London in 1935, he composed a ballet, "Hungaria." Luckily he met fellow Hungarian, Alexander Korda, who commissioned him to write an opulent score for KNIGHT WITHOUT ARMOUR (1937). While composing the score for THE THIEF OF BAGDAD (1940), Rózsa moved to California, where he remained. His film music, though often in the foreground, was seldom intrusive, most often amplifying the image. During the 1940s, his eerie mood music enhanced many a film noir.
