Brilliant as both a conductor and composer, Academy Award winner and multiple nominee Bernard Herrmann was arguably the most innovative film composer from the 1940s to the 1970s. Especially recognized for his work with Alfred Hitchcock, Herrmann composed music for 47 feature films including cinema classics Citizen Kane, Psycho and Taxi Driver. On this recording, Rumon Gamba conducts the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, joined by guest pianist Martin Roscoe on the Concerto macabre from Hangover Square and soprano Orla Boylan on Citizen Kane.
