Description on Youtube:
Bernard Herrmann, one of the finest of the great Hollywood composers, began his film scoring career in 1940 with Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane" and died shortly after completing Martin Scorsese's '"Taxi Driver" in 1975. He composed the music for around 50 movies and his best known scores are among those he wrote for several of Alfred Hitchcock's films, notably "Vertigo," "North by Northwest" and "Psycho." It is from the latter film, its music scored for strings only, that we hear the opening and closing sections, as well as the famous - or should we say notorious - "Shower Scene." These cues are splendidly played by the John Wilson Orchestra and come from its 2013 "Hollywood Rhapsody" Prom in London's Royal Albert Hall.
