The term “Herrmannesque” is now standard classical music terminolgy - underlining Bernard Herrmann’s stature as a legendary film composer. Herrmann’s long career is fully represented here from the majesty of his Citizen Kane overture to his spine-tingling scores for Alfred Hitchcock including Psycho and Vertigo. It also features the chilling whistling theme from Twisted Nerve - as heard in Kill Bill.
