Alfred Hitchcock commissioned his film scores from composers who were Hollywood’s master-craftsmen. The concert items prepared from those scores feature a dazzling variety of styles, from Baroque and jazz to dark Romanticism and angular angst, all using the orchestra with breathtaking virtuosity. The conductor John Mauceri, as at home with this repertoire as any other musician, has prepared a number of concert suites from the film scores and some of them receive their first recordings here. This recording was made live in concert in Danish Radio’s new concert hall in Copenhagen. The booklet contains an introductory text by John Mauceri and an extensive, illustrated essay on Hitchcock and his use of film music and work with composers by British film-music historian John Riley.

Hermann: Vertigo — Music for Alfred Hitchcock

This Love Will Love Again

When you wake up and the shadows
Cast doubt on the foot of your bed
And you swear that you heard someone
But it might just be in your head.

When you’re walking though the rain-soaked streets
And you feel the weight of a stare
Don’t look over your shoulder, baby
You know there’s no one there.

If you’ve got your pen to paper
But you second-guess that choice
When you hear the memory of a melody
Of some long-distance voice.

And if your mind creeps around corners
And leads you back into the past
You’re pondering what might have been
But you don’t even need to ask

You don’t know where you’re beginning
And where I start to end.
This love knows no boundaries
This love will love again.

If the wind brings a familiar scent
But you just can’t place the source
And it stirs a longing deep inside
Don’t let it fill you with remorse

Cast your eyes on the dark waters
of your depths yet unexplored
Close your eyes and see me
Smiling from some distant shore

You don’t know where you’re beginning
And where I start to end.
This love knows no boundaries
This love will love again.

Not bound by senses
Not held by time
Tied by the soul way deep inside

You don’t know where you’re beginning
And where I start to end.
This love knows no boundaries
This love will love again.
