  • Nicely done.Maybe a little It's Alive and Bride Wore Black for v.2?

  • @JuanitoRocks----The Fahrenheit 451 slection is "Fire Engine". I am a huge Herrmann fan. Check out my Herrmann video uploads including Fahrenheit 451.

  • TORN CURTAIN caused the breakup with Hitch; but much as I admire Herrmann (I think I'm second to none here) I think his score for that film was just too heavy. Addison's score, beginning with that superb electric guitar motif (unfortunately never repeated because the superb cue for Gromek's muder was omitted) has been unfairly neglected. The Prelude and (deleted) G murder cue are fantastic; listen to the development of that motif in the murder cue. Pity it was omitted but it's on the ST.

  • Herrmann's mentors were the Russians and the Brits. One can hear traces of several Brit composers in B's music, and, of course, the Russians; but don't leave out Puccini; one definitely hears him in those verismo chords in Wuthering Heights and those gorgeous lyrical sections. As for Hitch w/o Benny, c'mon. Hitch would have done it anyway. Benny was set for SPELLBOUND and listen to the goregous Rozsa score. Also don't undermine the great Waxman and Tiomkin scores for Hitch's films.

  • BH is my all time favorite film composer. However, one needs to salute his 'mentors' (Prokovief and Sibelius in general).

  • Whats the title for the Fahrenheit 451 score u have listed here? it's great!

  • bravoooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooo

  • You can rip the audio-mp3 of this clip at grabyourmp3 doht cohm.

  • Hitch and Benny Herrmann were introduced on the hope they would "get along" in order to collaborate. None can compare with the match, masterpieces, Bravo,

    No other combo has compared to date. Those were the days folks.

  • Love the vintage movie posters. Nice touch
