5.0 out of 5 stars Bernard Herrmann at his best, December 7, 2005

By	C. A. Luster "The Rook" (Burke, VA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Bernard Herrmann is one of the best composers in the last century. He was capable of conveying emotions with incredible music. His scores always evoked responses from audiences that helped movie directors make their point. Being a big fan of Ray Harryhausen and Alfred Hitchcock, I always was happy to see when Bernard Herrmann did the scores for any of their movies. Herrmann made any of their great movies become magnificent with his beautiful themes. I bought this CD many years ago and it is one of the best movie theme CDs you will ever find. Especially for fans of SciFi and Fantasy movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, May 9, 2005

By	Psycho (Earth) - See all my reviews

This CD features some of Bernard Herrmann's best music. Each track is awesome. Awesome as in awe-inspiring. My favorite Herrmann disc, and I've got a lot of Herrmann.

*Anybody notice the similarity between the opening few minutes of "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" and Danny Elfman's main Batman theme? It's uncanny. Did Danny Elfman plagiarize this?
