Lov & gratitude Hitch 💜
Agreed What a fucking phenomenal movie and a perfect direction by Hitchcock this is my 2nd favourite Hitchcock movie my favourite Hitchcock movie is psycho 1960 and of course psycho 1960 is a fucking masterpiece and i fucking love Hitchcock and this movie is fucking incredible and i fucking love Bernard herrmann and i love Hitchcock movies the most underrated Hitchcock movie is frenzy 1972 and i fucking love frenzy 1972 and i fucking love the soundtrack and this my 2nd favourite soundtrack after psycho 1960
There was an economy to filmmaking that is missed.
Also the most perfect title sequence, by the great Saul Bass.
"I don't like the way Teddy Roosevelt is looking at me." That line cracks me up every time. Great script. Eve Marie Saint is to die for. Love this score.
One of the best soundtracks of all time.
There is no North By Northwest without this thrilling score by the genius of Bernard Herrmann.
There is no Hitchcock without the thrilling scores of Herrmann :)
Just like there is no Spielberg without Williams.
No Errol Flynn swashbuckler without Korngold
These movies were made by technical professionals, craftsmen & artists, just as we listen to the scores without watching the movies, we can enjoy the movies without the soundtracks. Fortunately, we don't have to. 007 without John Barry is not James Bond, I can't even remember the soundtrack of Casablanca.
@@unowen-nh9ov Ennio Morricone and Bernard Hermann are my favorites.
Goddamn right!
I listened to Herrmann's North by Northwest(1959) music score on a CD player. I kept it on a loop. It drove my Aunt and Uncle crazy!
LOL!!
Bernard Hermann is a musical genius. That alone, is already an understatement
Was. Was a musical genius. He died way back in 1975.
Für mich der Beste, spannendste Soundtrack eines Hitchcock-Spielfilms,
geschrieben+produziert von
BERNARD HERRMANN
Einfach genial !!! *JeyKo*
What is considered to be one of Alfred Hitchcock’s best movies, including a thrilling plot, a superb cast, featuring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason in iconic performances, wonderful cinematography and a film score by Bernard Herrmann, “North By Northwest” is one of those movies that just seem to do everything right.
When we first featured the soundtrack on this site, it was edited poorly (well, we all have to start somewhere) and the main source was the best source at the time, the Rhino CD (1995), which featured for the very first time the entire film score. However, it always lacked of quality as some tracks were in stereo and some in mono. Also, Herrmann’s recordings got chopped up into 50 different tracks, which made editing a trouble. It would take until 2012 when Intrada Records would present the entire film score, this time with the tracks as recorded, bonus material and finally everything in finest stereo, which makes this release a gem.
Now today is the day and we will take a look (or a listen) again to what is probably not only one of Hitchcock’s- but one of Herrmann’s great achievements in cinematic history, including many motifs, a striking main title, a great love theme and the most colorful orchestrations, marking one of the brightest highlights of their collaboration. Enjoy!
Well said and well put, Fred ! :-)
This is very good....and much needed.....for the younger generation to *'get'* the importance of Bernard Herrmann's film music (and also of Alfred Hitchcock's brilliant films). Thanks 'Soundtrack Fred' for uploading this lovely suite of music.
Thank you SO much for all your work. Herrmann's film scores are all superb, but this is one of the most emotionally profound. Even without Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason and Martin Landau -- not to mention Mt. Rushmore! -- it still carries such depth.
As always with you, our Fred...your work in collecting, preserving, and presenting the greatest of classic film scores is much enjoyed and deeply appreciated! What you're doing matters. This great canon cannot be lost, must not be forgotten. I've been collecting recordings of film music for almost 60 years. I know these works must not and cannot be forgotten. They are one of the passions of my life. I'm so very glad you're here, doing what you do! Thank you!

Thank you AUJG, really appreciating your kind words and of course your interest in film music! :-)
Thank you very much again and stay well!
Fred
An absolutely thrilling film score. Very nicely edited - you have showcased Herrmann’s orchestral technique in great detail.
Amen to that !! :-)
BH is one of those composers whose instrumentation is as important to his melodies as the other way 'round. This score would be impossible to re-orchestrate.
That's the Genius...The instrumentation.
I watch this movie over and over.
Bernard herrmann GENIUS
What a brilliant man Bernard Hermann was. Have a feeling he used more then 10 percent of his brain.
I love how this music has a teasing elusiveness to it. In place of a melodic theme the Main Title offers up a collection of tantalizing, engaging motifs that recur over and over in various colorful guises until the musical deal is finally closed in the last frames of the film. Along the way the music evokes the same anxiety and lack of closure that Cary Grant's character experiences in the story, the feeling that resolution remains just out of reach. In the best meaning of the phrase, it leaves you wanting more.
I never met any Redcaps that looked like Cary when I was last alighting from an Amtrak train! I live in hope.
Perfectly described. I recall watching the film on TV when I was a teenager backbin the 1970s, and noticing the genius of this enticing play on the variations in the main themes. The atmosphere he created was brilliant.
The Main Title consists of just eight bars repeated over and over, and orchestrated so well that you need to listen to it several times to realize how simply it's constructed. And it perfectly fits the theme of the movie, since the story consists entirely of Cary Grant being chased by James Mason & Co. over and over, from one almost-fatal near-miss to another, and never knowing why until the last 15 minutes.
It is also - in my opinion - the model for every Danny Elfman movie score and theme in being just eight great bars repeated over and over.
Stunning music. As usual you find a way to capture the sense of an entire score in a 15 minute suite. Thanks Fred. I will enjoy dissecting this as I listen to it many, many times.
Great musical score of a great movie.
Herrmann is a master for me ...
Lebhafte und spannende Interpretation dieser ein bisschen bedrohlichen Suite mit perfekt vereinigten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der geniale Komponist-Dirigent leitet das hoch funktionelle Orchester im ein bisschen hektischen Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Atemberaubend von A bis Z!
I love this sound track. Very atmospheric!!! Well before it's time!!! Its time has not come yet!!! Absolutely stunning!!! So stimulating!!! It has all the ingredients of some comedy, a real human situation, trust/mistrust, isolation/despair, strong resilience , real love, recovery/outcome and achievement. A Hitchcock masterpiece!!!
Thanks Fred! I am listening to this over and over again with relaxing enjoyment!!!
Alfred Hitchcock +Bernard Hermann =Perfection🎆🎆🎆🎇🎊💝💝💝
Repeatedly.
I m french and this movie makes me dream by his drama. It s just one of the best movie never made. In 1987, touristic trip at 21 years old, my dream to see the mount Rushmore was accomplied and I have eaten in the delicatessen here. (Also Close encounters 3 type with Devil tower).
As a child, I saw many movies that were scored by Herrmann. Of course, I didn't know this until I became interested in film music later on. " The 7th voyage of Sinbad, " " Mysterious Island, " " The Day the earth Stood Still. " Just some of his rousing compositions. His contribution to the success of " Pyscho " is well- known, too. Inspiration for John Williams.
Love how the opening theme is stated not by strings or horns but by the tympany.
One of my favorite movies of all time. Thank you for posting this great soundtrack. The audio is excellent! 👍😊
Love it ! One of Herrmann's best ! Much of it is similar to his earlier score for 1951's "On Dangerous Ground" (a crime drama from the RKO studio & starring Robert Ryan & Ida Lupino). As always, thanks for sharing so much marvelous music with us, Friend Frederic !! :-)
Bernard Herrmann at his BEST. The movie is on German TV tonight ... it will be the TV-highlight of the week. In German TV it is even more special since the German voices for the main actors are an additional treat. 🤗🎵
And why is that?
It is because some very famous actors like their synchronisized german voice more than their own! The german Synchron Studios are worldfamous, but unfortunately we do not have own good movies, just a very few.......
Found this most excellent CD in an old & used bookstore in Raleigh. Couldn't grab it fast enough, and as a bonus, Herrmann's excellent, The Three Worlds of Gulliver. Called it a perfect day, to be sure.
JUST WATCHED "NORTH BY NORTHWEST" ON TCM YESTERDAY AND REALIZED HOW IMPORTANT THIS SCORE WAS TO THE FILM....GREAT FILM AND I HAVE SEEN IT MANY TIMES....
Out of all my favorite Bernard Hermann soundtracks this one seems to get stuck in my head the most.
Most perfectly matched film music ever.
The love theme, first with oboe, and then clarinet. That’s how a great composer does it.
Excelente película y majestuosa música.
You brighten my Fridays. What a lovely soul you have. Thanks.
Great soundtrack and movie.
Bernard Hermann was a brilliant composer , this& my favourite The Ghost& Mrs Muir, which was his favourite, brilliant ❤️
Preserved complete in full stereo..thank god!
On the two famous CDs conducted by the composer, one CD "Fantasy" and the other "Hitchcock"- all our beloved Bernie- the all-to-brief selection of this film called it's most famous theme "a fandango."
I have had a romantic attraction to film scores for most of my life, and a passionate love affair with Bernard Hermann's scores. Right now, I just listened to, one right after the other, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Taxi Driver, and now this. Please pardon me, I'm going to turn my phone off and say a Rosary for you, Fred, in thanks 🙏😊 for the wonderful work you are doing for all us out there who appreciate the BEST film soundtracks!
I can see every scene through this music !
It's so off-kilter and unsettling... I love it!
I love this music. Gran composición musical.
Bernard herman a legend
I recently re-watched my VHS of North by Northwest purchased back in the 1980s. I came to the conclusion that the Whole movie, interlocked with Bernard Herrmann 's score- this music soundtrack might very well be The Best, seriously, of any movie (and not just a CD, interwoven into the film) My other two previous all-time favorites being Bernard Herrmann 's Vertigo and John Williams' Dracula ( with my "needs cold shower" attitude towards music)- well, what can I say? Quote Rigoletto's famous La Donna e mobile aria? (Woman is fickle, as a feather in the wind)
Hitchcock knew his thumbnail was lost on all projects without the interpretative buoyancy of BH's music scores. The score of Psycho is actually 32 different versions of 6 undeniably mutivaried themes. The genius was each man contributed to the alignment of the puzzle sound to each major scene in both these movies. Hermann has tones about love and fear, desire and waste, triumph and loss in every movie he scored; and most amazingly in Psycho, he only used the strings to perfection here omitting the brass and winds. The 70-ties and 80-ties brought us 'his counterfeiters' in illusions of sound without deep feelings blow-back productions like Star Wars, Godfathers, blah-blah. We had genius with the Morricone Spaghetti Westerns, but a much milder crafted cupcake compared to 5* dinner courses served every time by the genius.
Great example of the power of music .
This is not discussed enough, masterpiece!
Forgive the comparison, but just like Star Wars, when you hear this you settle back and know you are in for a great ride.
An iconic opening with an iconic score for an iconic movie.
Fred, I'm glad your source material improved because it has produced one of YOUR very best. This is probably my favorite Hitchcock/Hermann soundtrack...next to Vertigo...and your work does it justice in every way. Thank you.
Hello James,
thank you so very much for your kind words! I really appreciate them and hope to catch on in the future to provide you and other film music aficionados a good time.
Best to you!
Fred
last time i was in NYC I put this on my headphones as I walked past the UN. it's amazing how more interesting your walk can be when there's a Cold War thriller soundtrack playing in the background.....
Before Hans Zimmer became Hollywood's best, there was this, and it is MASTERFUL.
Hans Zimmer is far from great though. except from the moment he composed Lion King.
美しい旋律を主軸として徐々に激しくなる(近づく様な)壮大な音楽。とても素敵です。
My favorite movie.
Very nice edit. Amazing how I listen, and a Cinemascope picture of the exact scene for which the music was written pops up in my head!
Actually, it was filmed in VistaVision, has better resolution than Cinemascope.
Brilliant!
Delighted to have discovered this expertly edited suite of my favorite Bernard Herrmann score - and, by extension, your channel, Fred. I was ecstatic to see that you had used the very best incarnation of "NbNW" as the source for your editing project. Lots of attempts out there to recreate this landmark score in "today's modern sound," but somehow they all fall just a bit short of the mark when compared to Herrmann's work on the actual soundtrack. And your suite makes it all so organic that it has a natural-sounding life of its own. Kudos and thank you!
Hello Steve and thank you so very much for your kind words! I really appreciate them.
Wishing you all the best!
Fred
Lively and exciting interpretation of this somewhat threatening suite with perfectly united sound of all the instruments. The brilliant composer-conductor leads the highly functional orchestra in a little hectic tempo and with utmost effective dynamics. Breathtaking from the beginning to the end!
Its the original 1959 MGM recording married to the film
LOVE "Interlude" love music. & the rest is really good. The entire score had cues from production libraries not indicated here.
I like the interlude, sort of Hollywood myth, forest theme too
Sensacional ❤️
Herrmann is often noted for his dissonance, which is evident in much of this score. However, you could tell me Tchaikovsky wrote the love theme, and if I hadn't seen the movie, I'd believe you. Cape Fear (also by Herrmann) has a similar Tchaikovsky-esque portion in it, where Gregory Peck gets home and sees his family.
This film was in the American Film Institute's "Top 100 Films of All Time" list (for American films). It's also one of my top 3 favorite Hitchcock films (the other two are "Foreign Correspondent" and "The Thirty-Nine Steps"). And this soundtrack by the great Bernard Herrmann is at the very top of the heap, and not just for Hitchcock films.
L'ouverture (générique de "la mort aux trousses") est vraiment magnifique. On y ressent bien l'atmosphère pesante du film, le suspense qui est propre à Hitchcock.
The best composition in this set starts at 6.00 (Interlude) and is repeated and embellished at 9.33 (The Forest) but at a slower speed. It has a nostalgic quality and sweet wistfulness of a kind rarely encountered in film music.
It's worth noting that the famous "crop duster" scene -- one of the most iconic of Hitchcock's scenes -- has no score at all until the very end.
Hitchcock wanted no score for shower scene in Psycho, Herrmann ignored him, Hitchcock heard it, bumped up Herrmann's billing & salary. If only Hitch had been as smart for Torn Curtain.
Yes!
I particularly love the Interlude, though the famous Overture can certainly do no wrong.
Hi
8½
Amazing! All these comments and the word, "Hemiola" did not appear ONCE!
Cool
Is that vibraphone at 10:54 (The Balcony)?? If so, how is it treated sonically?? SOUNDS SO GOOD!!
This was the era when a film was inextricably tied to its score and vice versa. What happened?
The forest is so beautiful
Studio.
@@unowen-nh9ov huh
Um raro exemplo de como a música deve conduzir o ritmo do filme.
This and psycho are only two years apart but polar opposites in the Hitchcock pantheon. Both scored by herrmann. Love his rich luxurious neurotic taxi driver music.
Psycho came out a year after North
@@randywhite3947 1958 and 1960
@@aarongranda7825 north came out in 59
59 was a great year for films ben hur, north by northwest and sleeping beauty.
@@jamesklatt 59 was arguably the best year for film
Cumbre del cine y de las bandas sonoras
The Wagner-ness in this score is profound. Herrmann was always studying his Wagner scores when composing.
happy bday in heaven ;-)
Hitch always wanted to be Cary Grant (according to reasonably reliable sources) but was just a brilliant Director/Producer. The man was visionary in the true sense of the word. For my part, I would love to morph into one of the gorgeous leading ladies of the time.....preferably alone with Cary himself on a train!
All I can say is Bernard Herrmann scares the shit out of me !
& this isn't even Psycho!
This film should be remastered in 4k bluray hitchs best film.
Wowwww como lo busque
Like si vienes por la Casita del Terror XX (la escena en que Lisa persigue a Bart durante el primer segmento.)
2nd best Hitchcock movie music behind Vertigo. Although Rear Window's diegetic music is right in there battling for #2.
No disrespect meant to you, and I *love* this Herrmann soundtrack, but I just noticed something. I never realized this before, but you can move your cursor over the red/white line which is the progress-bar of the video, and as you move the cursor along it brings up the titles of the different sections of the soundtrack. And I found what I think is a mistake. If you move cursor over 9th section it is titled "The Cafeteria / The Shooting". Well, I assume you really wanted to have this in chronological order as these scenes appeared in the film, but if you do, then that is actually not in the correct position, since it precedes "The Crash / Hotel Lobby". Isn't the Cafeteria & shooting referring to the scene at Mt. Rushmore? And isn't Crash & Hotel Lobby referring to when the plane crashes into the tanker truck? If so, then it should precede "The Cafeteria / The Shooting". And isn't "Forest" when Cary Grant meets Eve Marie Saint in the forest after the cafeteria shooting. So I would think it would be immediately following "The Cafeteria / The Shooting". Well, perhaps you weren't really interested in keeping them in chronological order. If so, never mind...
On my NORTH BY NORTHWEST CD (which I just found, which is the Rhino Music/TCM Turner Music R2 72101 edition from your link), there are 50 tracks. And of the ones you included, here are how they are numbered on my CD:
1. Overture
2. The Streets
5. The Door
6. Cheers
9. The Return
10. Two Dollars
14. The U.N.
15. Information Desk
16. The Knife
18. Interlude
33. The Airport
34. The Cafeteria
25. The Crash
26. Hotel Lobby
19. Detectives
20. Conversation Piece
21. Duo
36. The Forest
40. The Balcony
41. The Match Box
39. The House
45. The Gates
46. The Stone Faces
47. The Ridge
48. On The Rocks
49. The Cliff
50. Finale
Here is your list:
Playlist:
00:00 Overture / Main Title
01:24 The Streets
02:07 The Door / Cheers

09:33 The Forest
10:54 The Balcony / The Match Box
11:48 The House
12:45 The Gates / The Stone Faces / The Ridge / On The Rocks / The Cliff / Finale
And here is how I think it should be reshuffled around to be in chronological order:

#14 - 10:54 The Balcony / The Match Box (was in slot #13)
12:45 The Gates / The Stone Faces / The Ridge / On The Rocks / The Cliff / Finale
The end of the opening sequence bears an uncanny resemblance to the conclusion of the 3rd movement of Elgar's 2nd symphony written in 1911.
Herrmann was a fanatic of Elgar
1:24 tonging like that aint easy!
Brilliant as always Bernie. It's missing one of my faves. When Carey is driving up to the mansion in the back of the car with the two hoods. Love that part. 3:19 that's the actual melody but played differently. Either way, thanks for posting! : )
Found the ENTIRE soundtrack ruclips.net/video/1fBglRcQZjU/видео.html&ab_channel=BernardHerrmann-Topic
Hitchcock and Herrmann are excellent sample for cooperation in film magic.
Similar where Leone and Morricone.
Die ersten Takte erinnern an "Die Zeitmaschine" von Russell Garcia.
I have never seen this album cover before.
The strange thing is, there seems to be five presidents on Mount Rushmore.
Is that fifth guy the Right Reverend Mr. Bernard Herrmann?
Hi Bruce,
it is the director, Mr. Alfred Hitchcock! :-)

"You see mother these men kidnapped me and tried to kill me by pouring a bottle pf bourbon down my throat.............No mother, they did not give me a chaser."

The James Bond Theme, right there at ruclips.net/video/8TtqphyjStI/видео.html
This movie is the Bond precursor, they wanted Grant to play him, instead crop duster scene became From Russia With Love helicopter chase.
this music is Bernard Herrmman a mile off the classic pairing of Alfred Hitchcock others over the years steven Spielberg and John Williams john barry and the bond films
Martin landau was so mean.
The theme here is edited.
