Maurice Jarre's score for Doctor Zhivago is a masterful blend of sweeping romance and emotional depth, perfectly capturing the film's epic scope and intimate human drama. Anchored by the unforgettable 'Lara's Theme'—one of cinema's most iconic melodies—the music weaves together lush orchestrations and Russian-inspired motifs to evoke the turbulent backdrop of the Russian Revolution. The score earned Jarre an Academy Award for Best Original Score and solidified his reputation as one of the greatest film composers of all time.
