Bernard Herrmann - The Original Film Score: Psycho (DOL)

Pressed on red vinyl, this is the classic soundtrack to Psycho, one of Alfred Hitchcock's defining masterpieces, scored by the great Bernard Herrmann.

Across a remarkable career that also includes Citizen Kane, Taxi Driver and Cape Fear, Herrmann brought a singular intensity to the screen. He began writing scores for Hitchcock in 1955, but their collaboration reached its clear peak with 1960's Psycho.

What makes this soundtrack endure is Herrmann's extraordinary feel for mood and tension. The score to Psycho remains one of the most memorable in cinema history, not least for those shrieking violins in the shower scene that are impossible to forget.
