Herrmann: The Snows of Kilimanjaro, 5 Fingers

Here is a most welcome disc of Bernard Herrmann’s complete scores for The Snows of Kilimanjaro and 5 Fingers. By their inner, pensive, unsettled qualities, both scores look directly ahead to Herrmann’s music for Hitchcock’s Vertigo Snows is more intensely romantic and is stringdominated. 5 Fingers has individual woodwind colors, eerie muted trumpet in low range, much suspense, and to me is the more effective of the two scores.
