Bernard Herrmann
Prelude
Vertigo (1958)

Of this track, fellow Tumblrer oldhollywood writes:

“Herrmann, of course, is most closely associated with Hitchcock’s films, although he also worked with many other directors, including Orson Welles & Martin Scorcese. Of Vertigo, he said: ‘The story was so original, so haunting, that I knew pretty much what was called for, and I dredged it from my subconscious. As I scored it throughout, I found myself entirely in sympathy with what was going on the screen, and it is good to know that what I did musically with it is admired by so many.’”

The track can be found on Bernard Herrmann:The Film Scores, conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen, and performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
