THE PRIVATE HERRMANN
By 1961 assignments in Hollywood grew rarer and Herrmann decided to settle in London. At first he split his time between Los Angeles and his Regent’s Park flat but soon found himself spending less and less time in LA.
THE PUBLIC HERRMANN
After Herrmann the CBS Symphony Orchestra was disbanded in 1951, he tried to get another job as conductor of a major orchestra. He was invited to conduct in Britain on several occasions from the 1940ies to the 1970ies.
THE RECORDING HERRMANN
London is one of the leading recording venues of the world. In the 1960ies he started recording his film scores and concert music in various venues in Greater London. The ideal recording location with the right acoustics was a deciding factor for him.
