5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it for REAR WINDOW music, August 23, 2002

This review is from: Hitchcock-Master of Mayhem (Audio CD)

There have been better and there have been worse recordings of music for Alfred Hitchcock's films. However, this CD contains a Suite from REAR WINDOW. You get the "Prelude," "Rhumba," "Ballet" and the "Finale" all from REAR WINDOW and they are all very good. Lalo Schifrin does an excellent job with the Bernard Herrmann pieces as well. Schifrin also includes some of his own compositions which sound really good. However, the music from REAR WINDOW is really what sold me. Schifrin does a great job with these.

2.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS NOT ALL OF HITCHCOCK'S MOVIE MUSIC, July 26, 2001

This review is from: Hitchcock-Master of Mayhem (Audio CD)

I have to agree with the other reviewer, that this cd was not the best. The songs were too slow (especially Psycho and Rear Window) and really sounded fake. There is also not just Hitchcock music on here, but there is music from other movies that Lalo Schifrin did. It was a very poorly put together cd.

The only reason I kept this cd is because it contains MOST of the instrumental score from Rear Window, which you cannot find anywhere else. If you want to hear the Hitchcock music the way it sounds in the movies, I recommend "Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Signatures in Suspense".

The bottom line is unless you want the score to Rear Window- stay AWAY from this cd!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lalo Schifrin and Alfred Hitchcock - A great combination!, October 27, 2010

This is the best $3 ever spent! The shipping cost more, however no issue! I just love this CD...the great mood and style of Hitchcock with the musical genius of Lalo Schifrin! The music brought me back to the films. A bonus too having Schifrin's own soundtracks from films such as Bullit and Dirty Harry. I think it's a perfect CD to play at a dinner party (maybe skipping the 'Psycho' theme); or as background music to a good book or magazine! I highly recommend this CD. You just don't get this quality of music these days....not to mention the class!
