CD Reviews

Great sounds from the Herrmann Zone!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bernard Herrmann's "Citizen Kane" score fills this CD superbly, sounding for all the world like an integrated musical work rather than a recreated soundtrack. This is a first-rate effort in every sense, though the liner notes promise musical examples in print that seem to have been lost in the reissue. (This evidently existed in an earlier, Australian, form.) In the "Kane" score, we hear cues that would pop up later in "The Twilight Zone" and Hitchcock's "Vertigo." (Instant Bernard Herrmann: Play a major seventh chord in any key. Lower it a half-step. Voila!) I formerly regarded Herrmann as a prodigiously talented hack, but I hacked off the "hack" after hearing this bona fide masterpiece of music. Astonishing in every regard, and no less so for the bargain price. Don't miss out on this one."
