Musical tension that does not resolve until this scene: 1:57 mins into the movie. Why Bernie is and always will be my favorite.

It really is as close to Wagner's 'Tristan' as we'll ever get on the big screen!

Stunningly realized and performed. Vertigo is one of the most entrancing, hypnotic scores (and films) ever! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Couldn't agree more. Thanks so much for watching!

I have looked at many arrangements of this piece, none of which compared to Dr. Mitchell's arrangement. This arrangement is just enough and no more. It pulls at your heart in the way Bernard Herrmann must have intended - straightforward but with angst.

Terrific rendition! Also goes to show how effective Herrmann's score is-this scene plays just as well without any dialogue.

So glad you enjoyed, Jade, and I couldn't agree more. I really view all these projects on my channel as silent films!

Bernard Herrmann is my second favorite film composer (after John Williams). He managed to hit Hitchcock's atmosphere dead center. Here with heavy Tristan And Isolde by Wagner - influences. Romantic, but doom and gloom is just beneath the surface. I heard that there was a musician's strike at the time and part of the score was recorded in Vienna, Austria without Herrmann being able to conduct. Needless to say he wasn't happy with the result. He was a violinist and of course knew every little nuance in articulation. Brilliant musician. Anyway: fantastic piano arrangement and interpretation as always!

I had the great pleasure of conducting this project live with film with The Cleveland Orchestra back on Friday the 13th(!) of February 2015. A couple articles you might enjoy from when I was promoting that performance: 1) www.ohiomagazine.com/arts/article/new-heights 2) clevelandclassical.com/cleveland-orchestra-to-play-bernard-herrmanns-score-to-alfred-hitchcocks-vertigo-on-february-13/

It was recorded in London and Vienna. When an album was released, the only cues that could be selected were the London recordings because the performers in London were also part of a union. This explains why the remainder of the soundtrack had to be recorded in Vienna because the London musicians decided to support the American musicians. Fortunately, most of the important cues were recorded in London. I am an admirer of Bernard Herrmann as well, but I wouldn't have the Vertigo soundtrack handled any other way. I think that Muir Mathieson brought a special sound to Herrmann's music, and with the way this film was, Mathieson brought out such a unique sound from the orchestras he conducted, and it made the film so much more surreal and ethereal. At the same time, one wonders how the orchestra would have performed if Herrmann could have conducted the score.

Wow

Subbed. All i can say is wow. And wait you're a conductor with the Colorado Symphony? Damn dude. Explains the spot on-cue arrangement like this. Okay so you're probably too busy to start putting your arrangements into notation. Can i ask what source material you used before fashioning this together?
