BERNARD HERMANN - PSYCHO & VERTIGO NEW CD

2 LP ON 1 CD Plus 2 BONUS TRACKSThe complete original soundtracks from two of Alfred Hitchcock’s most acclaimed masterpieces: "Psycho" (1960) and "Vertigo" (1958). Both scores were composed by the great Bernard Herrmann, who collaborated with the director on many other films. The brilliant movies were made that much better by Herrmann’s poignant compositions, which have become classics in and of themselves."Psycho" stars Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, John Gavin, Vera Miles and MartinBalsam. While it initially received mixed reviews, outstanding box office returnsprompted reconsideration which led to overwhelming critical acclaim and four Academy Award nominations, including Best Supporting Actress for Leigh and Best Director for Hitchcock. It is now considered one of Hitchcock’s best films."Vertigo" stars James Stewart and Kim Novak and is often cited as one of the defining works of Hitchcock’s career. As a bonus, we have included the main themes from two additional collaborations between Hitchcock and Herrmann.Music composed by BERNARD HERRMANNConducted by MUIR MATHIESONRecorded in London & Vienna, 1958.*BONUS TRACKS (CD1, 8-9):Music composed & conducted by Bernard Herrmann.From the Alfred Hitchcock movies The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) & The Wrong Man (1956).INCLUDES 16-PAGE BOOKLETTRACKS:CD 1: PSYCO:01) PRELUDE / THE CITY/ MARION AND SAM/ TEMPTATION02) FLIGHT/ THE PATROL CAR/ THE CAR LOT/ THE PACKAGE/ THE RAINSTORM03) HOTEL ROOM/ THE WINDOW/ THE PARLOUR/ THE MADHOUSE04) THE PEEPHOLE / THE BATHROOM/ THE MURDER/ THE BODY/ THE OFFICE/ THE CURTAIN/ THE WATER/ THE CAR/ THE SWAMP05) THE SEARCH I/ THE SHADOW/ PHONE BOOTH/ THE PORCH/ THE STAIRS/ THE KNIFE06) THE SEARCH II/ THE FIRST FLOOR/ CABIN 10/ CABIN 17) THE HILL/ THE BEDROOM/ THE TOYS/ THE CELLAR/ DISCOVERY/ FINALE08) THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH (1956) [MAIN TITLE] (*)09) THE WRONG MAN (1956) [MAIN TITLE] (*)CD 2: VERTIGO:01) PRELUDE AND ROOFTOP02) SCOTTY TAILS MADELEINE [MADELEINE’S FIRST APPEARANCE / MADELEINE’S CAR/ THE FLOWER SHOP/ THE ALLEYWAY/ THE MISSION/ MISSION ORGAN]03) CARLOTTA’S PORTRAIT04) THE BAY05) BY THE FIRESIDE06) THE STREETS07) THE FOREST08) THE BEACH09) THE DREAM10) FAREWELL / THE TOWER11) THE NIGHTMARE / DAWN12) THE PAST/ THE GIRL13) THE LETTER14) GOODNIGHT / THE PARK15) SCENE D’AMOUR16) THE NECKLACE/ THE RETURN/ FINALE
