HOT CORN Radio: Alfred Hitchcock and the sound of fear

From Bernard Herrmann to Miklos Rosza: Milan Records celebrates Hitch with a double album

Alfred Hitchcock aka the master of suspense was famous for choosing and editing the soundtrack of his films very carefully. Now a double album from Milan Records features the best extracts of this deeply original musical universe; the pieces are remastered or presented as orchestral suites approved by Hitchcock himself. The first CD is completely dedicated to the seven pictures made with Bernard Herrmann, while the second one is dedicated to the other composers Hitchcock worked with; artists as talented as Herrmann himself: Dimitri Tiomkin, Franz Waxman, Miklos Rosza, Lynn Murray.
