Carl Davis: Ben-Hur (film score)
continued
Philharmonia Orchestra
Carl Davis conductor
A screening of Ben Hur - one of the great epics of cinema history - with a live orchestral soundtrack performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra.
A very special opportunity to experience a screening of one of the great epics of cinema history with a live orchestral soundtrack. The 1925 silent film of Ben Hur was a blockbuster in its day for the newly merged MGM studios, and was the most expensive silent film ever made.
Telling the story of Prince Judah Ben-Hur, who is enslaved by his friend and rival but returns to take his revenge, its centrepiece is a spectacular and thrilling chariot race featuring a dramatic real-life crash, which is still regarded as one of the most extraordinary sequences ever recorded on film.
