'The Man Who Knew Too Much' and 'Citizen Kane' - music from the films

Experience Classical

Available for over a year

Film composers add something intangible to the films they score. Bernard Herrmann was amongst the very best. Both the Prelude to the Hitchcock thriller 'The Man who Knew too Much' and 'Citizen Kane' throw the listener into the thick of the action, whether that be Marrakesh or the printing room floor of the media mogul’s busy empire. Composer: Bernard Hermann Performers: BBC Concert Orchestra Conductor: Keith Lockhart Recording date: 12 August 2011 Date of broadcast: 12 August 2011
