Bernard Herrmann is absolutely my all-time favorite film composer. My faves are “North by Northwrst”, “ Fahrenheit 451” and “Garden of Evil.”
His soundtrack to “Taxi Driver” is my favorite.
Let’s not forget the theme to Suspense. Very cool and spooky.
This is a quintet for clarinet and string quartet, and it reminds me a bit of Barber and Brahms.
He’s not my very favorite, but he was certainly one of the greatest.
A master composer. The following films are unthinkable without his musical contributions:
“The 7th Voyage of Sinbad”:
