Film was not the only medium in which Herrmann made a powerful mark. His radio broadcasts included Orson Welles’ Mercury Theatre on the Air and its most notorious presentation, The War of the Worlds. His concert music was commissioned and performed by the New York Philharmonic. As chief conductor of the CBS Symphony, Herrmann gave important first performances of music by such composers as Ralph Vaughan Williams and Charles Ives, whose work he particularly championed.
Almost as celebrated as these achievements are the enduring legends of Herrmann’s combativeness and volatility. As complex as any character in the films he scores, Herrmann remains a creative genius, an indefatigable musicologist, an explosive bully, a generous and compassionate man who desperately sought friendship and love.
