NEAR MINT - UNSEALED - ONLY ONE AVAILABLE
TWO CD SET.
M-G-M’s 1959 epic remake of Ben-Hur was a tough act to follow, not only for the studio, but also for Oscar®-winning composer Miklos Rozsa. But the studio and composer once again rose to the occasion in 1961 with King Of Kings. It earned critical and popular acclaim and has become a holiday TV staple and best-selling home video release. Though he recorded nearly 140 minutes of music with the venerable M-G-M Studio Orchestra, the out-of-print 1961 soundtrack album featured just 40 minutes of music rerecorded in Rome with another orchestra. An early-’90s CD release of the actual soundtrack still represented only about half the score. Now, for the first time, Rozsa’s entire King Of Kings score as originally recorded with the M-G-M musicians has been assembled and remastered from the original 6-track session tapes for release on this deluxe two-disc package from Turner Classic Movies Music/Rhino Movie Music.
