Questions About This Episode
What is Herrmann and Wagner about?
In this podcast, we explore the link between the musical score of Alfred Hitchcock 's masterpiece Vertigo , written by composer Bernard Herrmann , and the music of Richard Wagner 's Tristan und Isolde . The 1959 film, whose themes center on obsession, and the links between love and death, covers similar terrain as Wagner's opera. As a result, Herrmann's music at times appears to be a loving homage as well as a tribute to Wagner's greatest work.
