CD Reviews

Herrmann's final complete Hitchcock score
Daniel Trachtenberg | Searingtown, New York USA | 08/17/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have awaited the release of a complete score for Marnie for the longest time. The movie itself, released in 1964, was originally considered a bomb. I have learned that this was to be Grace Kelly's return to films, but when that failed to pan out, Hitch turned to Tippi Hedren instead. Hitch's famous break with Hedren left him to give up on the movie, and some say it shows in the production values. This movie has since earned the respect and admiration of many. Certainly, it has become one of the most debated of Hitch's later films.As for the score, rarely have I heard a Herrmann score I didn't like. This score, to me, stands out as being even more emotionally driven than his others, which with Herrmann, you wouldn't think possible. In some ways, it reminds me of his work for Vertigo, but in a more concise, fine-tuned form. As with all Varese Sarabande re-issues or re-recordings of scores, this one is top quality. The sound quality is great, and long time Herrmann conductor Joel McNeely keeps faithful to the original, so much so that it is hard to tell the difference. Bravo!Now where's The Man who knew too much and The Wrong Man?"
McNeely Delivers Again with MARNIE
gobirds2 | New England | 08/25/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"After earlier triumphs, such as "Psycho," "Vertigo" and "Citizen Kane," Joel McNeely and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra deliver another definitive digital recording from composer Bernard Herrmann. This recording is excellent and stands alongside their recording of "Vertigo" for sheer intensity and interpretation of Herrmann's scoring. The MARNIE theme is central to the score, but its variations as written by Herrmann, reveal the subtleties of the scenes played out by the characters on the screen. This recording reveals those subtleties so precisely and eloquently that you are able to recall the exact scenes from the film. The recording of this score has been long overdue, but it was worth the wait. I highly recommend it."
"Herrmann completely mesmerizes us with theme variations"
J. Lovins | Missouri-USA | 03/24/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Often compared to "Vertigo", the score for "Marnie" is really very different. I would pair them up (not to be sold separately) as compansion scores, Herrmann completely mesmerizes us with his themes, blending variations with eloquent and subtle cues, depicting each character in the film. "Marnie" is more emotionally driven than "Vertigo", and fine tuned to the story-line. Herrmann was a genius and knew his craft well.Herrmann's "Marnie" relies heavily on strings, usually with lyrical solos for the winds. This re-recording of the award-winning Royal Scottish National Orchestra, under the direction of Joel McNeely, is truly an major event - the absolute in capturing the essence of the Original Motion Picture Score.Outstanding release from - Robert Townson (producer), Jonathan Allen (recording engineer), Richard Hale (asst engineer), Bruce Botnick (mastering engineer) and Varese Sarabande, everyone concerned put together another classic film score which has become a cult favorite among movie and music collectors alike.Also available on Varese Sarabande - other works by our favorite composer Bernard Herrmann - "Bernard Herrmann At Fox Vol. 1" (302 066 052 2), "Bernard Herrmann At Fox, Vol. 2" (302 066 053 2), "Citizen Kane" (302 065 806 2) "Fahrenheit 451" (VSD-5551), "The Ghost And Mrs. Muir" (original soundtrack/VSD-5850), "The Ghost And Mrs. Muir" (score/VSD-47254), "Journey To The Center Of The Earth" (VSD-5849) "North By Northwest" (VSD-47205), "Psycho" (VSD-5765), "The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad" (VSD-5961) "Trouble With Harry" (VSD-5971)"Torn Curtain" (unused score/VSD-5817) and "The Twilight Zone (TV) (302 066 087 2)...from our favorite composer, legendary icon - BERNARD HERRMANN!Total Time: 50:39 on 41 Tracks...Varese Sarabande 302 066 094 2...(2000)"
