サイコ: Bernard Herrmann's Complete Music For Alfred Hitchcock's Suspense Thriller PSYCHO: Bernard Herrmann's Complete Music For Alfred Hitchcock's Suspense Thriller
Dragon's Domain Records presents PSYCHO, featuring music composed by Bernard Herrmann (CITIZEN KANE, NORTH BY NORTHWEST, VERTIGO) for the 1960 horror classic directed by the legendary Alfred Hitchcock, written by Robert Bloch and Joseph Stefano, starring Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin, Martin Balsam, John McIntire and Simon Oakland.
Released in 1960, PSYCHO focuses on an encounter between Marion Crane (Leigh) and Norman Bates (Perkins) and its aftermath, in which Arbogast, a private investigator (Balsam), Marion's lover Sam (Gavin) and her sister Lila (Miles) investigate her disappearance. On the run after embezzling money from her former employer, Marion makes a fateful stop at the Bates motel, where she meets shy proprietor Norman and Marion's fate is changed forever… Now considered one of Hitchcock's best films and arguably his most influential work, PSYCHO was seen as a departure at the time from his previous film, NORTH BY NORTHWEST, as it was filmed in black-and-white, on a small budget, with the same crew Hitchcock used for his television series, ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS. The film was a massive success in its day, spawning three sequels, a remake, a made-for-television spin-off and a television series.
Bernard Herrmann is one of the greatest composers of motion picture music in the twentieth century. He is considered the man behind some of the most original and distinctive film scores. He was a master at evoking psychological and dramatic tension in his music to suit the dramatic needs of a film. He won his only Oscar in 1947 for writing the score for THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER. Herrmann made a powerful mark in radio and in 1934 he began a 25-year career as a conductor and composer in radio, working for the CBS. In 1938, he scored the notorious infamous presentation of Orson Welles' Halloween production of H. G. Wells' THE WAR OF THE WORLDS broadcast. He is best remembered for his collaborations with some of Hollywood's most celebrated film directors like Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Martin Scorsese and Brian DePalma. Described as a perfectionist, he believed that most directors didn't have a clue about music so he would blithely ignore their instructions. His filmography includes CITIZEN KANE, THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, NORTH BY NORTHWEST, VERTIGO, MYSTERIOUS ISLAND, CAPE FEAR, FAHRENHEIT 451, OBSESSION, TAXI DRIVER and many hours of episodic television including THE TWILIGHT ZONE and HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL, among others.
First released on vinyl in 1975 by Unicorn-Kanchana and later released in the early days of the compact disc format, this recording captured the first complete presentation of music from PSYCHO as performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by the composer himself in 1975. Dragon's Domain Records is excited to bring PSYCHO back to the marketplace under license from Unicorn-Kanchana, newly remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and retaining the original album liner notes by Christopher Palmer.
巨匠アルフレッド・ヒッチコック監督による1960年に公開されたホラー映画の傑作『サイコ』。1975年に作曲家自らが指揮しナショナル・フィルハーモニック管弦楽団が演奏した『サイコ』の音楽を初めて完全収録したアルバムが市場に復活！
トラックリスト出演はアンソニー・パーキンズ、ジャネット・リー、ヴェラ・マイルズ、など。
1960年に公開された『サイコ』は、マリオン・クレイン（リー）とノーマン・ベイツ（パーキンズ）の出会い、そしてその余波に焦点を当てています。私立探偵のアーボガスト（バルサム）、マリオンの恋人サム（ギャビン）、そして彼女の妹ライラ（マイルズ）が、マリオンの失踪を調査します。元雇用主から金を横領して逃亡中のマリオンは、運命的な出会いを果たすことになるベイツ・モーテルに立ち寄る。そこで彼女は、内気なオーナーのノーマンと出会い、マリオンの運命は永遠に変わってしまうのだった… 現在ではヒッチコック最高の作品のひとつ、そしておそらくは彼の最も影響力のある作品のひとつとみなされている『サイコ』は、当時の彼の前作『北北西に進路を取れ』とは一線を画す作品とみなされていました。なぜなら、この作品はモノクロで、低予算で、ヒッチコックがテレビシリーズ『ヒッチコック劇場』で使用したのと同じスタッフによって撮影されたからです。この映画は当時大成功を収め、3本の続編、リメイク、テレビ映画のスピンオフ、テレビシリーズが制作されました。
バーナード・ハーマンは20世紀を代表する映画音楽の巨匠の一人である。最も独創的で特徴的な映画音楽の数々を生み出した人物と評され、映画のドラマティックな要求に応えるため、音楽で心理的・劇的な緊張感を喚起する達人であった。1947年『悪魔の金』の音楽で唯一のアカデミー賞を受賞している。ハーマンはラジオ界でも大きな足跡を残し、1934 年から 25 年間にわたり、CBS で指揮者および作曲家として活躍しました。1938 年には、H. G. ウェルズの『宇宙戦争』を原作とした、オーソン・ウェルズによる悪名高きハロウィーン特別番組の放送で音楽を担当しました。彼は、アルフレッド・ヒッチコック、オーソン・ウェルズ、マーティン・スコセッシ、ブライアン・デ・パルマなど、ハリウッドで最も有名な映画監督たちとのコラボレーションで最もよく知られています。完璧主義者と言われる彼は、ほとんどの監督たちは音楽について何も知らないと考えていたため、彼らの指示を平然と無視していました。
彼のフィルモグラフィーには『市民ケーン』『偉大なるアンバーソン家の人々』『北北西に進路を取れ』『めまい』『ＳＦ巨大生物の島』『恐怖の岬』『華氏451』『愛のメモリー』『タクシードライバー』のほか、『ミステリー・ゾーン』や『西部のパラディン』など数多くのテレビシリーズが含まれる。
1975年にUnicorn-Kanchanaよりアナログ盤で初リリースされ、後にCD初期に再発。Dragon's Domain Recordsは、Unicorn-Kanchanaからのライセンスを得て、市場に再リリース。本作はデジタル・アウトランドにてジェームズ・ネルソンによる新規リマスターを施し、クリストファー・パーマーによるオリジナル・アルバム・ライナーノーツをそのまま収録しています。
