Really difficult. Historical epics vs. Western epics. I guess I'll go with Leone, but it's a tough choice.

Never really cared that much for 'western epics' though there are several westerns that I have really enjoyed over the years,  so I went with Lean.

I like both, but I prefer Sergio Leone.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

I lean towards Lean.

There are some breathtaking moments of cinema in Lean's work that every movie buff should have engrained in their subconsciousness. This clip from Lawrence of Arabia is a small stroke of genius imho:


Then again he also made 'Ryan's Daughter' which is one of the most boring films I've ever had the displeasure of watching. Zzzzzzzzzzz

No vote though. Too easy to pick Leone, but I find his work to be so strongly interlaced with the music of Morricone that it's unfair. Two against one will never make for a fair fight, unless we're talking Van Damme...

Maurice Jarre is the only composer to win Oscars doing music in the same old fashioned way (more than one Lean film) and then later he used electronics from his son to win another Oscar.
 
The choice has to be David Lean, who is listed in the history of film for his visual style and how he used music, and NOT used music. It was a lesson for many film makers for  many years.
 
Sergio Leone, was a popular film maker and not as artistically defined as a David Lean, Stanley Kubrick, or an Akira Kurosawa. But Sergio's films reached a measure of fame and fortune, that the others didn't. But David Lean is a part of film history.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
