DOWSE Guide to the Movies
by Tony Lee editor of Pigasus Press

Herrmann & Hitchcock: A Partnership In Terror

Silva Treasury SILVAD 3010

This album is for all fans of Alfred Hitchcock's thrillers, and the admirers of composer Bernard Herrmann. Together these two giants of the cinema fused sound and vision into a strong force - long before Spielberg similarly teamed up with John Williams. This new CD, performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic and conducted by Paul Bateman, brings together excerpts from some of Herrmann's most potent film scores: Vertigo, North By Northwest, The Trouble With Harry, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Marnie, Torn Curtain and the infamous Psycho - and yes, the screeching violins of the shower sequence are here! As you expect from Silva Screen Records the recording quality is excellent, and having used the original Herrmann arrangements this is the way the music was intended to be heard. An impressive album.
