Intrada Records has announced the details of the label’s world premiere release of the original score from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1956 James Stewart- & Doris Day-starring thriller The Man Who Knew Too Much composed by Academy Award winner Bernard Herrmann (Vertigo, Psycho, Citizen Kane, North by Northwest, Taxi Driver, Marnie, Obsession). The album also features the composer’s score for the 1951 drama On Dangerous Ground directed by Nicholas Ray and starring Ida Lupino, Robert Ryan and Ward Bond. Both scores were newly recorded with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted by William T. Stromberg earlier this year. Visit Intrada’s official website for more information about the Kickstarter-funded release and to order the CD. (UPDATE: April 24): A digital version will be available to stream/download on Amazon and most other major digital music services.
