First off, what a great thing to make this massive set available again for more film music fans to enjoy. Bravo!
Second, I have a question for those who own the Treasury. The only Rózsa score I own is Ben-Hur. The lovelier cues from Ben-Hur such as "Esther," "Love Theme", "Ring For Freedom," "Memories," and "Balthasar" are by far my favorite tracks here and are among the most beautiful I've ever heard. However, I'm really not that fond of Rózsa's action music and his march cues. They're just not my thing. Does the Treasury skew more in the direction of those action/parade-type cues or the more beautiful "love theme" type cues? Or is it pretty much a balance of both? I'm probably going to go in for the Treasury eventually, regardless; with over nineteen hours of music, I'm sure there will be more than enough I will enjoy. But as so much of Rózsa's music seems to follow along a similar vein, what can you tell me of the Treasury based on the cues I like from Ben-Hur?

You can still listen to a few of the cues at http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm/ID/13181/MIKLOS-ROZSA-TREASURY-2000-EDITION/ , you just have to click on the title you want to hear and it brings up that titles' page.

Thanks for pointing out where to find the samples. I'd missed that clicking on the individual titles takes you to a new page. There still aren't all that many, but I'll check out what's there. The first few sound very similar to Ben-Hur, but I guess that's Rózsa's style.

Would anyone be willing to share hi-rez album covers for the box, if available? Much thanks!

Thanks orbital. I actually meant original or fan-made covers for each film, not the clamshells or the box set.
