And Jerry Goldsmith conducted the theme on some concert album. It's certainly beautiful music, but I think LYDIA is the far richer score from Rozsa's early Hollywood years.
I'm not sure why the Rozsa Forum was cited earlier. It may have to do with this thread, wherein I described Churchill insisting on screening the film aboard H.M.S. Prince of Wales during the Atlantic Charter conference with Roosevelt.

I've never heard of this! Any idea what album this was? It doesn't show up on the Soundtrack Collector listing for this film/score.

I think he's talking about a b00t: "A Celebration of Hollywood 1994", a double CD-R (Vol.2 of the series "The JG Live Collection"...) from a concert Jerry gave in Nottingham on Jan. 15 with the BBC Concert Orchestra - it includes the Minuet from "That Hamilton Woman"!
Yes it's Rozsa's Minuet from Lady Hamilton. Goldsmith introduces the piece at the 7:51 mark:
Does anybody know, if Rozsa's Minuet from That Hamilton Woman was ever recorded/ performed other than at this concert? I've been looking for this FOR AGES and couldn't find any answers....
I am a teacher who uses film music to teach creative writing. Is there anyone who can burn a CD of the Goldsmith concert for me to use with my kids. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Dick
Why in the world did you post this? How is that specifically related to That Hamilton Woman?
It relates to Rozsa. The Rozsa website includes a comprehensive discography, and it's possible someone reading this thread isn't aware of it or the Rozsa forum. Sorry, I suppose I should have posted something about Goldsmith instead.

Well, you're still wrong.
TerraEpon, take a chill pill. Waxmanman35 was only trying to help.
The "Love Theme" is Rozsa at his best. Morton Gould conducting the LSO is a knockout, and Rozsa's own performance is of course wonderful. I also recommend Gregg Nestor's version for guitar:
and McNeely's with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra:

Dick, If the solution suggested by George above is unsuitable, and if you would prefer to have physical CDRs of the concert let me know. I had the broadcast committed to CDRs years ago (2 discs, due to the length of the performance.)
I haven't seen the film or heard the score, but I came across this, and found it interesting:
In a 22 October 1970 column in The Village Voice, critic Andrew Sarris wrote: "I have seen THAT HAMILTON WOMAN some 83 times at last count, and that doesn't include free television viewings. That is to say that on 83 separate occasions I plunked down coin of the realm for the privilege of watching Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier impersonate Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson in history, Emma and Horatio biographically, and Viv and Larry iconographically. By any reasonably objective standard of aesthetic worth, this admission should come under the heading of Confessions of a Misspent Youth. The first question that suggests itself is why, the second how."
