Herrmann,Bernard Hitchcock Masterpieces: North By Northwest CD

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of Bernard Herrmann's scores for two of Alfred Hitchcock's classic films. North By Northwest is a delightful chase comedy-thriller with a touch of sex that made such an impression on the producers of the first Bond film in the early '60s, they tried to recreate the movie's substance and style in their own picture. Vertigo is now regarded the masterwork of a great director at the very peak of his talent. It?s one of the most beautiful, moving, provocative and emotionally insightful works that the cinema has produced. The quality of Bernard Herrmann's scores for North By Northwest and Vertigo is such that it is impossible to imagine either film without his anxious, hauntingly beautiful, surrealistic music; music that leaves no doubt that the composer had an artistic vision on a par with the director. El. 2010.
