Miklós Rózsa

Miklós Rózsa (Hungarian: [ˈmikloːʃ ˈroːʒɒ]; April 18, 1907 – July 27, 1995) was a Hungarian and American composer. Best known for his nearly 100 film scores, he nevertheless maintained a steadfast allegiance to absolute concert music throughout what he called his "double life". Rózsa achieved early success in Europe with his orchestral Theme, Variations, and Finale (Op. 13) of 1933, and became prominent in the film industry from such early scores as The Four Feathers (1939) and The Thief of Bagdad (1940). The latter project brought him to Hollywood when production was transferred from wartime Britain, and Rózsa remained in the United States, becoming an American citizen in 1946. During his Hollywood career, he received a total of 17 Academy Award nominations, winning three times for Spellbound (1945), A Double Life (1947), and Ben-Hur (1959). He was also a César Award winner, a three-time Golden Globe nominee, and a Grammy Award nominee. His concert works were championed by such major artists as Jascha Heifetz, Gregor Piatigorsky, and János Starker.
