(1907-95)
One of the last survivors of the golden age of Hollywood,
Miklos Rozsa was a spellbinding pioneer of film music. His double life took in every film genre from oriental fantasy to big-screen epic via whodunit, as well as works destined for the concert hall which were championed by conductors like Charles Munch and Bruno Walter.
