Miklós Rózsa
18 avril 1907, Budapest, Austriche-Hongrie
27 juillet 1995, Los Angeles, Californie, USA
Miklós Rózsa a étudié le violon dès l'âge de cinq ans. En 1926, il commence à étudier au Conservatoire de Leipzig. En 1929, son Concerto pour violon y fut joué.
Alors qu'il vivait à Paris depuis 1931, Rózsa a composé ses «Variations sur une chanson paysanne hongroise» et sa «Symphonie et Sérénade pour petit orchestre». Après s'être installé à Londres en 1935, il compose le ballet,'Hungaria'.
Heureusement, il rencontra un ami hongrois, Alexander Korda, qui lui demanda d'écrire une partition importante pour «Le chevalier sans armure» (1937). Tout en composant la partition pour «Le voleur de Bagdad» (1940), Rózsa part pour la Californie, où il est restera le reste de sa vie.
Sa musique de film, bien que souvent au premier plan, était rarement intrusive, le plus souvent amplifiant l'image. Pendant les années 40, sa musique d'humeur inquiétante a amélioré beaucoup un film noir.
