Adriano, the conductor of this album, is a self-taught musician born in 1944 who has established himself as a specialist in Ottorino Respighi and European film music composers, with over forty widely recognized recording projects.
Compositional Technique
The score for "Jane Eyre" is dominated by three principal themes representing the two leading characters and their love, with secondary themes often derived from variations or constituent cells of these main themes.
Composition History
Bernard Herrmann's score for the film "Jane Eyre" was his fourth film score and was completed in August 1943.
Recording & Production
This recording restores many short musical segments that were cut during the original film's recording or editing, allowing pieces like "Jane Alone" and "Farewell" to be heard in full for the first time.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Bernard Herrmann's score for "Jane Eyre" is considered his most romantic or conventional, built upon romantic motifs and using conventional orchestral forces, yet it still anticipates elements found in his later, more avant-garde scores like "Psycho."
Composition History
The film score for "Jane Eyre" was written between two of Bernard Herrmann's 'classical' masterworks: his Symphony of 1941 and his opera "Wuthering Heights."
Compositional Technique
Bernard Herrmann insisted on orchestrating his music himself, a practice that set him apart from many other Hollywood composers whose soundtracks were often improved by orchestrators.
