Born August 13, 1899, Alfred Hitchcock would become an icon of cinema, whose remarkable career would span six decades and include over 50 feature films, which include some of the classics of cinema. On Friday afternoon's Classical Music with Foley Schuler, we'll offer a slighted belated birthday celebration for the great director with musical selections from Hitchcock masterpieces North by Northwest, Vertigo and Psycho (all conducted by the composer who scored those films to such unforgettable effect, Bernard Herrmann) as well as musical gem from his 1945 classic Spellbound: The Spellbound Concerto, which would become one of the best known works of Miklós Rózsa.
You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon on blue Lake Public Radio.
