Bernard Herrmann - Greatest Hits

[TheStevenBaldwin]

alll right good stuff... ich mochte

[dafmurray]

Great composer and a fitting tribute.

[djwolf12]

uhhhh, The Twilight Zone? Anyone? Anyone?

[swordpunisher]

Great tribute.

[am2boni]

A classic!!! God Bless  Bernard!!!

[plerimest]

you forgot one of his most famous theme: Twisted nerve- Kill Bill!

[DrinkWater22]

Now with sound!

[animalfarm1988]

You always let me down, Youtube...

Is there anybody enjoying classical music without sounds!

[DrinkWater22]

Couldn't you just put up an advertisement like you did for the other vids?

[DrinkWater22]

Facists.

[yukieutsumi]

Fucking Youtube!!!

[cherzra]

Stupid youtube police... screw record companies.

[furrowin]

you tube natzis

[zemariavieiramendes]

fuck them!! buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

[cyberlarry7]

BUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jehannum2000]

Fucking corporate cunts. Fuck off.

[AJNorth1]

Agreed, This Copyright Gestapo crap has gone much too far.

Nice montage; just imagine it with the sound...

Hard to say what my favorite Herrmann is. NxNW is definitely a top contender; Vertigo is also spectacular, also "Ghost & Mrs. Muir".

But let's not forget the brilliant original Main & End Titles for the Twilight Zone - that shimmering sound with the unresolved chord at the beginning drawing one into the episode, with the finality of the resolved chord at the end.

True genius.

[cinemabon]

What a shame! Here is a tribute to one of the greatest composers of all time, let alone Hollywood, and we can't hear it! I appreciate your effort anyway. Of all the tributes, the lack of soundtrack here hurt the most. I have a dozen Herrmann albums.

[RheingoldxxL]

... what do you think ... how wants to be listent a opera made bey mr. Herrmann?

[RheingoldxxL]

P.S.: sorry, i mean "how wants to be sounds a opera ..."!

[Canuck2004]

My favorite film composer... listening to this brings me back...but one has to be the right age group.

[DanielBowden1975]

Genius, some of it sounds like Bartok to me.

[theultimatekoopa2]

The Murder is my favourite piece of music. It's the piece that plays in "that scene" in Psycho.

[rbs600]

what ever happened to twisted nerve?

[fongie84]

north by north west is probably one of my favourite pieces.

[ElizabethTurner101]

Ok, a lot of these are not in my time peorid so i'll go with it. North by northwest was very good! Journey to the center of the earth had like a Vampire theme to it! LOL! The day the earth stood still was weird. Psycho was creepy but now i know where they get that weird theme from when somehting bad goes wrong on thoes weird comericals. Anna and the king of siam was like the King and I. And Correction All of these are not in my Time peorid. LOL!

[figurehead24]

going back to some of the movies i liked when i was younger, i realized that a good portion of the reason i liked it was for the soundtrack. i don't think i know of any other composer who could turn a good movie into an amazing one.

[tinaturntable]

Something tells me that portishead are fans!

[09090707]

yeah, they are huge noir junkies

[NGS712]

Are there any other recordings of that Hangover Square bit on YT?

[JohnsGirl72]

stop fighting.

add me as a friend on M.S.N 7K

[thestacyandloryshow]

I want to hear  "The Search" from psycho

[sushiboi66]

Where is "Obsession"?

[benydebney]

"Obsession" will be on "Bernard Herrmann - More Greatest Hits".

[orlock77]

Taxista y Cabo de Miedo mis favoritas para hacer ejercisio.

[squiff]

Add &fmt=18 to the end of the url to get much higher quality audio!

[tylervanbach]

What is this trickery?!!?

why does this work?

[squiff]

I think all uploaded videos are kept at a higher quality on youtube. You can just force the system to output it's higher quality with this.

[fenrisulfr88]

Taxi Driver Theme is my favorite, but all of them are awesome.

[pheemer]

Herrmann used a Theremin (spelling?) in The Day The Earth Stood Still, andiejanefisher.

[andiejanefisher]

Is there a musical saw in The Day The Earth Stood Still music? Either that or a lady with a very wobbily vibrato.

[minibe]

esta musica es influencia de mr.doctor de devil doll ^^

[MEthistime]

Nice retrospective, thanks for posting!

[goneinthe]

The music of Psycho is unforgettable.

[anhacus]

Years ago, Aerosmith would open up with the Psycho theme leading into Back in the Saddle. Tyler would scream,"I'm Baaaack!" with the white lights on his face, and for a moment he looked like Tony Perkins with long hair. Freaky.

[hourlynewscaster]

And, don't forget all the incredible work he did in radio, first with Orson Welles, then his long association with CBS -- including his backgrounds for "On a Note of Triumph."

[weikko79]

I'm pretty sure the music starting at 1:50 is not from "Citizen Kane".

[benydebney]

But it is,of course it is.I took it from the Varese Sarabande Album.

[weikko79]

What scene is it used in?

[weikko79]

I think the score for "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" (beginning at 1:00) is his masterpiece.

[weikko79]

Incidentally, it was Herrmann's personal favorite as well.

[nagmat1]

Look forward to it.

[nagmat1]

What about Mysterious Island? It is his best!!

[weikko79]

Hardly his best.

[wimmzey]

just cant stand to see someone else getting praise huh? Geeez! read a book or something buddy!

[weikko79]

Do you really think Mysterious Island is the best score Bernard Herrmann ever wrote??

[wimmzey]

sorry I thought u were commenting about the compliation, i did not see that you were responding to a comment. (inserting foot in mouth!) however,I do think that myserious Island is a Masterpiece of invention, sound, and orchestration. :o)

[nagmat1]

@weikko79 Yes I do. Not a big movie so not to many people know about it.

[weikko79]

@nagmat1 OK. Took you a whole year to come up with that response, did it? :-)

[JA1492]

Just the type of clip I was looking for when I searched this miserably undervalued composer's name. Perfect!

[UncleCharlieOakley]

Just wonderful. Thank you!

[NeoFallR]

Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!

[alfiehitchie]

Herrmann may have gotten short shrift in the Oscar department as far as nominations go, but he did receive double noms in 1976 after his passing for TAXI DRIVER and OBSESSION. I guess we'll have to wait for Bennie's G.H. Vol. II for OBSESSION. That is one of the two or three film scores that actually roll down the tears.

[FosterFoxtrot]

On Dangerous Ground has a really killer theme by him and wouldn't be out of place in that video.

[insertintube]

If you look back, many great directors have never won an oscar. Scorsese has only won one recently, but was never awarded for Taxi Driver but perhaps even more importantly "Raging Bull".

Kubrick is also one of the few greatest directors of all time, and one who has never won an oscar. Tragedy really.

[Scih]

He was the best composer for movies.

[zer0nix]

damn, this is great stuff.

[THEHUNGRYVEGETARIAN]

Bravo, Benydebney...BRAVO!!! Well edited and a fitting tribute, to the silver screen's greatest composer. It's hard to believe that Bernard Herrmann never won an Oscar, but then again, Oscar forgot the greatest of Hitchcock, too, but time hasn't. May God continue to embrace the spirits of both Bernard Herrmann and Alfred Hitchcock, with His love.

[ScottClifton]

Actually, Herrmann did win an Oscar for his score for "The Devil and Daniel Webster." Good score, but it sure didn't deserve the Oscar as much as Vertigo!

[THEHUNGRYVEGETARIAN]

Scott, I stand corrected. Thank-you.

[ScottClifton]

No problem! Just wish Hitchcock had won an Oscar, too. Both should have won at least three, to my mind.

[luchono66]

aqui en chile es muy dificil conseguir todo este material,gacias por mostrarlo.

[NyaradiG]

Good Work, enjoyable.

[DreyMaree]

ooh thank u, i'm doing a research project on Alfred Hitchcock for my media class, and I was looking for music from some of his movies, and this is perfect! :D Thanks!

[AndrewHawke]

Fantastic. Great selection. I've never heard 'Hangover square' before, so thanks. Check out my Herrmann (lesser known) greatest hits when you get the chance.

[adam28xx]

Great compilation ... excellent selections. Thanks!

[nonoo]

Thx m8

[Cramnella]

Nice selections that only scratch the surface of this great composer's work.  Thank you.

[GusHammond]

Bernard Herrmann... What to say? Brilliant!
