Alfred Hitchcock: Murder, mayhem...and music

As a successful director, Alfred Hitchcock got the pick of Hollywood's finest composers. And, as MATTHEW SWEET shows, knew exactly what he wanted from them. Unsurprisingly, their creations have become some of the most famous - and well-loved - scores ever recorded. In a special concert the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Timothy Brock, brings them thrillingly to life.
