Psycho Suite presents the complete music for the film as the composer intended, and not as it appears in the movie. Conducted by Herrmann himself at London's Barking Assembly Hall in 1975, the piece is performed by The National Philharmonic Orchestra. An intense and effective listen, the music presented here perfectly captures the spine-tingling suspense which Hitchcock so gloriously conveyed on the big screen. Without Bernard Herrmann's accompanying score, you could argue that Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1960 movie starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh, would not be celebrated as one of the greatest chillers of all time today. Appealing to a classical music audience and fans of the film, this 180gram, blood-red vinyl showcases Herrmann's exceptional skills as both a composer and conductor. On listening you might never want to take a shower! Again!
