    Bernard Herrmann made some significant recordings for Decca in the late-1960s/early-1970s. Many of these used the company's then new audio technology, Phase 4, which brought the music into brilliant light. This collection brings together a selection of British Film Music as well as music by Herrmann himself for a series of Alfred Hitchcock films, including 'Psycho', 'Marnie' and 'Vertigo' (originally released under the title 'Hitchcock Movie Thrillers'). It also includes a selection from Shostakovich's dark score for Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'.
