NotesVertigo is generally recognized as one of Hitchcock's greatest films and is considered by many to be his masterpiece. This CD, containing the riveting score by Bernard Herrmann and featuring over 30 minutes of music never before available, is timed to take full advantage of the full theatrical re-release of the film, scheduled for the Fall of '96.
Vertigo is one of Bernard Herrmann's finest scores, and there are only two serious choices for the listener-the original soundtrack or this re-recording. Although the original is perfectly ok, this re-recording has better sound, which makes for a richer listening experience. It is so good, it sounds like it should be the original soundtrack.
If you are buying a Vertigo CD, start with Joel McNeely's recording, and get the original as well if you wish to compare the two.
I love the original recordings but I am an audiophile and the re-recordings are so much better in so many ways...the only drawback might be the interpretation of the music by another conductor at another time. This re-recording is exceptional.
