"Hello everyone, good evening! Oh, movie music is truly dramatic enough to stir the soul, and so profound. This time, to close out my collection, I'm featuring a masterpiece selection from Bernard Herrmann, the legendary composer whom Alfred Hitchcock, the master of suspense films, trusted the most! Conducting this album is Esa-Pekka Salonen, a charismatic figure of our time. With a stunning performance by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Herrmann's sound world, like a 'razor-sharp blade,' is brought back to life in the modern era." Collection Commentary: Bernard Herrmann's 'Hitchcock Film Music Collection' This is not just a best-of album. It's a definitive piece that proves movie music is "art." The heart of Hitchcock's works! From the screaming strings of 'Psycho' that everyone knows, to the swirling romanticism of 'Vertigo,' and the sense of speed in 'North by Northwest'... Without Herrmann, the terror of Hitchcock's films wouldn't have been half as effective. Includes the posthumous work 'Taxi Driver'! It's not just Hitchcock's works. The lonely saxophone melody of Martin Scorsese's 'Taxi Driver,' which Herrmann worked on just before his death... This is also included, which is an irresistible charm for fans. The Japanese edition's elegant appearance. This Japanese edition, released by Sony Records, has the words "Young Maestro Salonen" on the obi. You can feel the excitement of the music world at the time from this album. Track Listing (Main Highlights) 'The Man Who Knew Too Much': Prelude 'Psycho': Suite for Strings 'Marnie': Suite 'North by Northwest': Overture 'Vertigo': Suite 'Torn Curtain' 'Fahrenheit 451': Suite 'Taxi Driver': Night Piece for Orchestra About the Condition I have also kept this with care, but the case has scratches and marks from years of listening. However, the magic of Herrmann, brought out by Salonen's baton, should still transform your room into a prime seat in a movie theater. Well then, let's meet again in the corner of a screen somewhere. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!"
