Over the last decades, James Fitzpatrick has done a lot of new recordings of
classic film scores, including many of Miklos Rozsa’s works including “El
Cid” and lately “Ben-Hur”.
On November 15th 2017, a fascinating new project was born which might be of
interest to readers of this website. On request of many fans, music producer
James Fitzpatrick (Tadlow Music) is willing to make a new recording of Miklos
Rozsa’s complete score to “KING OF KINGS”, the 1961 Super Technirama 70mm epic
about Jesus Christ, starring Jeffrey Hunter and directed by Nicholas Ray –
provided that it can be financed.
Hungarian born composer Miklos Rozsa (1907 – 1995) has left quiet a remarkable
musical work behind him, including concert and chamber works. Among film
enthusiasts he is well known for his excellent film scores for which he received
3 Academy Awards (“A Double Life”, “Spellbound” and “Ben-Hur”).
Miklos Rozsa’s magnificent score for “King Of Kings” was written for a 96 piece
symphony orchestra and an 80 voice choir and is one of Rozsa’s finest works for
the cinema. It has been released on vinyl and CD before several times, including
a 2-CD-set with all the original tracks. Unfortunately, the quality of this
recording lacks much in clarity and even is distorted by a certain degree. Many
film music fans have expressed their wish to have a new complete “King of Kings”
recording. Many of them have contacted and asked James Fitzpatrick to do it.
Finally, they have been heard.
Over the last decades, James Fitzpatrick has done a lot of new recordings of
classic film scores, including many of Miklos Rozsa’s works (“The Private Life
of Sherlock Holmes”, “El Cid”, “Sodom & Gomorrah”, “Quo Vadis”, “The Thief Of
Baghdad” and lately “Ben-Hur”). All of these albums were recorded in Prague at
Smecky Music Studio with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus
conducted by maestro Nic Raine. All have been very well received by film music
lovers worldwide. The authenticity of these recordings is proof of the highly
skilled team behind James Fitzpatrick.
Of course, re-recordings of such an epic scale like “King of Kings” cost a lot
of money. Too much for a small label like Tadlow to finance it on its own. So,
where then to get the money from? Set up a Kickstarter project and ask the fans!

What is Kickstarter?

Miklos Rozsa’s magnificent score for “King Of Kings” was written for a 96 piece
symphony orchestra and an 80 voice choir and is one of Rozsa’s finest
works for the cinema.
Kickstarter is a so called crowd funding platform. Projects can be financed
through it by getting donations from anybody who wants to contribute to the
project. You can donate any amount you want. And there are even rewards given to
donators from the project responsibles, often things money cannot buy, depending
on the amount donated. To be a donator you have to register with Kickstarter on
their website, leaving your address details and of course your credit card info.
But don’t worry: Your credit card will only be charged if the project succeeds,
i.e. if the financial goal is reached. Otherwise they will not take any money
from you. (Note: Having helped quiet a couple of projects throughout the last
years, I can say that my experience with Kickstarter is very, very good). But
the time is limited: Kickstarter projects will end latest after 60 days. If the
amount pledged for is not reached at the end, the project dies.
The Kickstarter project for “KING OF KINGS” has a financial goal of 40.000 Ł
(the recording itself will cost about 80.000 Ł, of which Tadlow Music will
provide 50%) and ends on January 4, 2018 at 09:28 am CET. Till this date the
pledged amount of 40.000 Ł must be reached.
This is an appeal to all of you to support this project! But why should you
contribute to this project? Maybe you love classic film scores, or maybe you are
a fan of Miklos Rozsa, or maybe you like big biblical 70mm epics? Whatever
reason it might be to get you onboard of this fascinating project, you can be
sure to contribute to something of value! So, please donate and share.
