Classical music grants film composers a different kind of freedom. Ennio Morricone’s Metamorfosi di Violetta dissects La Traviata’s heroine with filmic acuity. Tigran Mansurian’s Agnus Dei slips between chant and dissonance to evoke unresolved grief. John Corigliano’s Soliloquy turns inward still further, transforming private loss into quiet radiance. Bernard Herrmann never sought classical abstraction, yet Hitchcock’s musical alter ego -the mind behind Psycho and Vertigo- offers this album’s pièce de resistance: Souvenir du voyage, a nostalgic gem of profound cinematic sensitivity.
