Bernard Herrmann's incomparable film score is only matched by the master filmaker himself, Alfred Hitchcock. A Compilation from one of, if not the best of both Herrmann and Hitchcock!

1. Main Title
2. Nightmare
3. Scene de Amor
- "SISTERS" main title / "OBSESSION" Valse Lente"
Two of Bernard Herrmann's last and finest works from the early 1970's. The captivatingly murderous main title from Brian De Palma's 1973"Sisters" along with the beautiful "Valse Lente" from De Palma's Hitchcock take off of Vertigo; "Obsession" in 1976. The main title from 'Sisters' is conducted by the composer himself from the original soundtrack album.

-"WALKING DISTANCE" complete musical score - 1959
-"THE 3 WORLDS OF GULLIVER"
Bernard Herrmann's 2nd. assignment with stop motion animation wizard Ray Harryhausen after "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad" wonderfully displays his acknowleged passion for 17th century Victorian England and all its artifacts. The music here can rightly stand highly beside almost any of the" great scores" that he wrote during his carreer. Joel McNeely conducts the Scottish National Symphony Orchestra. An original soundtrack album has been available as the composer conducted the music for the original soundtrack. WE LOVE RAY and BERNIE!!

In 1974, Bernard Herrmann and the National Philharmonic recorded a suite from the music that Shostakovich wrote for the Soviet movie of "Hamlet" (1964). From it, we hear 'The Ball at the Palace,' 'Scene of the Poisoning,' 'Arrival of the Players,' and the 'Duel and Death of Hamlet.'
