Bernard Herrmann’s score for Jane Eyre was completed in 1943. It was his fourth film score and, like The MagnificentAmbersons before it, saw collaboration with Orson Welles. Not only is Jane Eyre
Hermann’s longest film score, it is one of his most sumptuous, romantic
and eerily evocative. He features a marvellous array of sonic
effects—high winds, celesta, and muted brass—all designed to deepen and
colour the characterisation, and orchestrated with his customary
brilliance. This recording of the score restores, for the first time,
cuts made during the recording or editing of the original film.
The original 1994 notes about the recording can be read

Ooh, that sounds good!
