Taxi Driver (Original Soundtrack Recording) – Bernard Herrmann – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Bernard Herrmann’s score for ‘Taxi Driver’ stands as one of cinema’s most evocative marriages of image and sound. This was Herrmann’s last work before his passing, and he crafted an atmospheric soundscape that perfectly captures the tension and loneliness coursing through Scorsese’s New York. The melancholy saxophone, restless rhythms, and simmering orchestrations paint the city’s midnight streets with both grit and longing. Herrmann, already celebrated for his collaborations with Hitchcock, found a new pulse here: jazz-inflected yet tinged with noir’s shadowy unease. As you drop the needle, the music instantly conjures Robert De Niro’s Travis Bickle—alienated, searching, both observer and participant in the city’s fever dream. This album is more than a soundtrack; it’s a character in itself, shaping your experience of the film long after the credits roll. Owning this on vinyl is to hold a piece of cinematic history—a testament to Herrmann’s genius and to the enduring legacy of ‘Taxi Driver.’ For collectors and cinephiles alike, it’s a masterclass in musical storytelling and urban mood.
