Soliloquising strings accompanying the chilling murder of Psycho shower are just as famous as the scene itself. Initially, director Alfred Hitchcock had decided against the background music in what would become the murder of most famous film of all time, but for once the "master of suspense" undisputed had to give in to the composer Bernard Herrmann. The latter gave reason and film history was written.
Hitchcock had an unparalleled ability to create suspense, and he was well aware of the role of music in this process. It is not surprising that Herrmann was one of the favorite composers of Hitchcock. He has written scores for the Trouble with Harry (1955), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), The Wrong Man (1956), Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959), Psycho (1960), the birds (1963) and Marnie (1964).
German composer Franz Waxman was also on the same wavelength as Master manipulator Hitchcock. They made a strong team, joining forces for the original bands of Rebecca (1940), suspicion (1941), The Paradine Case (1947) and rear window (1954), which proves that Waxman was not hostile to a good dose of suspense.
Tickets for this concert 15 and 30 euros
