Thor 7,500 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Is there a list somewhere, of these rerecordings? Unlike most people, I'm quite fond of his CITIZEN KANE rerecording. It's the only album of that particular score I have, and will probably ever have. I don't like his PSYCHO; Elfman blows it out of the water.

Jurassic Shark 12,072 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Certainly the best available album presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that rerecording a bit uneven, probably because it was recorded in bits and pieces in connection with other sessions. It's probably not for me anyway, since I find the Gerhardt extracts quite sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,012 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Vertigo. There is nothing else coming close. It's one of my very favourite film score albums. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,500 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Is this the point where I cautiously sneak in and admit I've never been a fan of VERTIGO, neither film nor score (in any recording)? Yes, sacrilege, I know. But there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,072 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 I'm not a fan of the whole score either. A suite is sufficient for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to Herrmann, I must admit I rarely enjoy his music in C&C or other long presentations, with some exceptions. Not really sure why, as I generally prefer most other film composers' works in complete form. His music is however terrific in the films themselves, needless to say.

The short motivic cells Herrmann often employed - making him one of the first 'minimalist' composers - do not lend themselves to lush deluxe treatments of a Rózsa score or other of his peers (though they often work wonders in the movies).
