Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
There was no composer better suited to the format of The Twilight Zone than Bernard Herrmann. In 20 minutes of fantastical storytelling, the series needed music equally alien; this and the limited budget "allowed" Herrmann to experiment with ensembles, and the results as re-recorded here show him to have been a master of invention. Scoring only seven episodes across three seasons, his contributions may be few but remain the most well remembered. For the pilot show ("Where Is Everybody?") he used the strings of a small orchestra to depict the desolation of one man's lonely search for companionship. Then with "The Lonely", his preference for vibraphone begins in earnest. The reverberating echo in conjunction with an electric organ makes for music you can actually feel. And for the tale of a man unaware he's in love with a robot, this is highly emotive stuff. The same may be said of the "Elegy" in his "Walking Distance" score. In fact, there are numerous surprisingly warm moments that counterpoint the surreal dramatic tension. Disc 2 presents the brusquer of the material: "Little Girl Lost", "Living Doll", and "Ninety Years Without Slumbering". Played continuously however, this set is an extraordinary display of a musician at the height of his creative powers running blissfully free in a playground of his own. --Paul Tonks
