Alfred Hitchcock: Essential Collection

One of the most important cultural figures of the 20th century, Alfred Hitchcock's body of work remains as striking today as it ever did. The Londoner who conquered Hollywood with his love of suspense and his dry sense of humour was often pushing the limits of film technology to produce his extraordinary productions. His obsessive focus on every detail of his films of course included the underlying music, and resulted in some of the most memorable soundtracks ever written. This collection includes the striking and unsettling music from masterpieces such as 'Vertigo', 'North By Northwest', 'Psycho', 'Rear Window' and 'Rope'. Also included are selections from the 'Music To Be Murdered By' album - a droll collection of hair-raising tunes with Hitchcock providing introductions for each in his inimitable manner - as well as some pearls of wisdom from the man himself. All in all, 23 tracks of spine-tingling music that transport the listener into the work of one of the true greats of cinema.
