4.0 out of 5 stars Taxi Driver Score is Moody, Brilliant., December 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Taxi Driver: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

Having seen the movie I immediately purchased the soundtrack because I loved the jazzy, moody theme song which is repeated throughout the album. Once again composer Bernard Herrmann has created a memorable score as he has in the past with so many of Hitchcock's films. He was truly a brilliant composer. You may not like the harsher, more ominous music on the CD, but you'll certainly love the main theme.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimo soundtrack de Bernard Herrmann, March 20, 2011

This review is from: Taxi Driver: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

Bernard Herrmann fue un de los más grandes compositores del s. XX que escribieron para el cine y demostraron su genio en cada cinta que Hollywood nos regaló sobre todo entre los años 50 al 70, época de oro de este gran compositor.
El compositor favorito de Alfred Hitchkock realizó esta última producción de la mano de otro gran director de cine como es Martin Scorsese. Musica muy sensual donde el saxofón toca un tema delicioso (interpretado por un gran saxofonista como Tom Scott) y el resto de música describe perfectamente el estado solitario y casi esquizofrenico del taxista que interpreta el gran actor Robert de Niro
Lástima que este gran compositor falleciera sin oir su tema con la pelicula terminada.
Musica simplemente maravillosa. Genial
