Bernard Herrmann – Taxi Driver OST

Description

‘You talkin’ to ME?!?’: undeniably one of the most famous quotes from movie history from one of its most memorable characters. Travis Bickle, the frustrated Vietnam veteran in Taxi Driver; the lonely nut obsessed with sex and violence who takes a job as a cabbie to battle his insomnia. Robert De Niro’s legendary performance ensured that this Scorcese classic ended up on many a ‘best movie of all time’ lists. It was also Bernard Hermann’s last ever soundtrack. Hitchcock’s favourite composer died just a few hours after completing the score. Like no other he composed a dark and threatening atmosphere that drags you into Bickle’s twisted mind. There are only a handful of soundtracks that work on vinyl and this is one of them.
