"Spellbinding … a firm favourite … performed with breathtaking precision by the LPO, and both they and the music come across with a thrilling and vivid immediacy"
(Gramophone on the Herrmann)

Bernard Herrmann made some significant recordings for Decca in the late-1960s/early-1970s, many of these using the company's then new audio technology, Phase 4, which brought the music into brilliant light. This collection brings together a selection of British Film Music as well as music by Herrmann himself for a series of Alfred Hitchcock films, including Psycho, Marnie and Vertigo (originally released under the title 'Hitchcock Movie Thrillers'). It also includes a selection from Shostakovich's dark score for Shakespeare's Hamlet.
