Album Info

Release Date: 2022

Label: Quartet Records

World premiere release of both the used score by Ron Goodwin and the unused score by Henry Mancini for Alfred Hitchcock’s 1972 "Frenzy", celebrating the 50th anniversary of the film.

This Quartet Records special edition release has been produced, restored and mastered by Mike Matessino from stereo and mono elements vaulted at Universal Pictures, with the collaboration of both the Ron Goodwin and Henry Mancini estates.

The CD album features an exclusive, in-depth essay by writer and composer Deniz Cordell. Packaged in a jewel case with a clear tray and with a 28-page booklet.

Limited Edition of 3000 copies.

Excerpted from the booklet:

"A Few Words About the 'Descriptions for Alfred Hitchcock' [tracks 33-45]

Because Alfred Hitchcock could not attend Ron Goodwin's scoring sessions at Anvil Denham, it was decided that instead of merely stating each cue, editor John Jympson would record a brief spoken summary, describing to Hitchcock each sequence being scored so he could 'see' the scene while listening."
