Rózsa's Ben-Hur score conveys the grandeur and drama of the Roman epic, Kodály's Háry János Suite captures the humour, pathos, and spirit of the boastful soldier's tales, and Rota's music for La Strada underscores the poignant relationship between its characters on their bittersweet journey.

All three of tonight's composers are celebrated for their ability to create evocative and memorable scores that enhance the narratives and emotional depth of their respective source materials.
