Although Bernard Herrmann could frighten an audience as well as any Golden Age film composer (as demonstrated by his scores for “Psycho” and other Hitchcock thrillers) he also had a lush, tender side that comes to the fore in this romantic drama from 1947. The album is Vol. 4 (FMC-4) of Elmer Bernstein's Film Music Collection, a series of classic film scores composed between 1939 and 1966, all lovingly restored and re-recorded in stereo during the 1970s. In addition to Herrmann, the series included the work of such Golden-Age masters as Franz Waxman, Miklós Rózsa, Alex North, Max Steiner, Alfred Newman, Dimitri Tiomkin and Bernstein himself. The original LPs were only available in limited editions and are now quite rare, but Film Score Monthly reissued the complete set in 2006—12 CDs in a beautiful cardboard slipcase, including a 136-page hardcover book with copious notes, illustrations and musical examples. Please visit either the Film Score Monthly or Screen Archives Entertainment website to purchase the physical box set (while supplies last).
