For the Hermann completist this CD is a must. The scores are faithfully reproduced here and are performed and recorded beautifully. Joel McNeely has done many of these excellent re-creation cd's and I hope he continues the process.

I thoroughly enjoyed Joel Mc Neeley's recording of Bernard Herrmann's PSYCHO score, so I was thrilled to discover that the conductor also recorded Herrmann's scores for THE TWILIGHT ZONE. Herrmann was one of THE TWILIGHT ZONE's most prolific composers, having written the original theme music and the scores for eight individual episodes (only one of which, "The Hitch-Hiker," is regrettably not represented on this two-CD set).

The musicians certainly earned their paychecks...every single one of them, especially the harpists. Very surprising (according to the liner notes) that "Walking Distance" was only scored for 19 musicians. Die-hard fans of TZ like me drool over this stuff...

In other words, all those twilight moods that Herrmann was so wonderful at evoking.
And Mr. McNeely and his fine orchestra give every mysterious, melancholic bar the loving care and attention they deserve.
These cues and themes were composed during Herrmann's finest period, and like Psycho they share that strange, hypnotic quality of an ethereal and slightly unsettling chamber music.
So, in keeping with that ambiance and hall sound, splendidly recorded. The selections on Disk ... Read More
