  • A fanfare of paranoia and confusion...bravo Mr Herrmann...bravo...

  • One of the greatest Main Title themes of all time, for one of the greatest, certainly one of the most rollickingly suspenseful & entertaining, of all time! And one among several of Bernard Herrmann's masterpieces! This is not the original recording, but a RE-recording in the competent hands of Joel McNeely.

  • @MCP2012 I absoutely agree with your statement.

    Not only did Benard Herrmann create one of the greatest music Titles themes ever,but the sense of excitement of this whole title theme is that it was recorded over the whole Stereo field.

    You are as a listener fully part of the theme; because you  are constantly hearing the sounds of the orchestra panned from left to right/right to left and between. Bloody Incredible GENIUS!!!!

  • Thanks for uploading this - I love this music. To be more accurate, this piece should be described as being from the music score if it is from the Varese Sarabande release, as it is not the original soundtrack from the film.

  • @rtg1018 You're Welcome...and it is from the Varese release.

  • just imagine Hitchcock movies without Herrmann....

    ....mmmh I guess I can´t

  • @DonBoby I cant do it either...

  • can't say i think this recording is nearly as good as the original film recording. search 'title sequence North by Northwest' and you'll hear the best recording

  • This is the redone soundtrack by Joel McNeely, who is considered to by one of the leading interperters of Bernard Herrmanns work. You can buy this CD from varesesara bande official website. The CD is limited to just 3000 copies.

  • The lady vanishs

  • @Hunternet7 ...is a GREAT MOVIE!!

  • Herrmann, Goldsmith, Williams...holy trinity of movie scoring

  • Ah at last, the entire sound track, not just the credits (which ARe excellent of course, but the rest is too often neglected.. until now!!)

  • "whats wrong with your eyes?"

    "there sensitive to questions."

  • Greatest movie theme of all time, but the tempo in this version is too fast. It hides all the intricacies of the orchestration.

  • Thanks so much for posting this! I absolutely love this!

  • You're Welcome (me too, this is my favorite movie)

  • Seconded!

  • My personal favorite movie by Alfred HItchcock, best film-overture ever!

  • FANTASTIC !

  • Agreed...both are in my top 5.

  • Great movie and great score!!!!

  • This is in my top 5...

  • Probably the best movie-overture ever done!

  • @RobLangdonIsStupid thirded
