Product Description

From Amazon.com

Much has been made of composer Bernard Herrmann's choice to use only razor-sharp, slashing strings for his score to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. And heaven knows it works like a dream (or a nightmare), the music feeling as edgy and colorless as the noir-ish black-and-white photography. But as noticeably effective as the knife-screeching violins are in the famous shower scene (followed by those deadly blows from the basses and cellos), they work just as powerfully--though perhaps not as noticeably--all throughout the picture. Herrmann evokes dread and tension with just a few notes, or captures Janet Leigh's flighty panic in pizzicato as she hits the fateful road to the Bates Motel after impulsively stealing a large sum of money from her employer. --Jim Emerson

5.0 out of 5 stars Psycho, 16 April 2007
By R. Healy (Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An outstanding CD and recording of the score to the movie. The booklet contained inside is informative and detailed, discussing separately each of the tracks in relation to the film as well as some detailed insights into what the motifs in the music was intended by Herrmann to convey and how they are used to foreshadow events in the film. (particularly the mother's three note theme)

This was an impulse purchase for me but I'm so very glad I bought it.

40 tracks makes this about as comprehensive as it gets and a good investment, most however are quite short ranging from single motiffs to several minutes of actual score music. But I was listening to this last night, and the music brings back the movie so vividly I cannot help but recommend it to other film scores enthusiasts.
