Ost / Herrmann - Psycho Suite

Blood Red LP pressed on 180g vinyl • The complete score, as composer Bernard Herrmann had intended, for the Alfred Hitchcock classic 1960 thriller • Expresses the emotions of the movie in an even more intense and effective way than the music that was originally recorded for the film • Performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra and recorded at Barking Assembly Hall, London, in 1975 • Conducted by Herrmann himself, Psycho Suite showcases his exceptional skills as a composer and conductor Without Bernard Herrmann’s accompanying score, you could argue that Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1960 movie starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh, would not be celebrated as one of the greatest chillers of all time today. Psycho Suite presents the complete music for the film as the composer intended, and not as it appears in the movie. Conducted by Herrmann himself at London’s Barking Assembly Hall in 1975, the piece is performed by The National Philharmonic Orchestra. An intense and effective listen, the music presented here perfectly captures the spine-tingling suspense which Hitchcock so gloriously conveyed on the big screen. Appealing to a classical music audience and fans of the film, this 180g, blood-red vinyl showcases Herrmann’s exceptional skills as both a composer and conductor.
