The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.
Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.
Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.
Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.
Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.

One of the all-time great film scores, played by one of the world's great orchestras. And whoever engineered this is a genius, because the acoustics sound dry and close-miked, like a film recording session, and not with the more expansive, but inappropriate, sound of a concert hall.
A magnificent performance, whose only flaw is that it's only twelve-and-a-half minutes long and not the whole score. Though I've never heard it played better, if one wants the complete score, then the James Conlon recording is still the one to get.
@edouarddubois3632
I do agree but another strong performance to consider (although a little shorter than James Conlon's Paris Opera Orchestra 1999 recording) is the magnificent one conducted by Joel McNeely with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra for Varèse Sarabande in 1996.
@pffortes
I think it was Bernard Herrmann’s intension to close-mike certain instruments to achieve a very dry and other-worldly sound. For me, this movie was the pinnacle of Hichcock’s colossal career, and Bernard Hermann’s music is inseparable in it’s incredibly high achievement.

I grew up listening to Rock and Jazz, this made me appreciate classical music. This score turned me onto Bartok, Ravel, Stravinsky. Wonderful performance by one of the worlds best orchestras.
@user-ol1ib1ss2b
This is a total masterpiece.

As a huge Hitchcock fan, I necessarily am a fan of Bernard Herrmanm. From "The Trouble with Harry" to "Psycho", his film scores for Hitchcock were masterpieces. Vertigo may be his best. The main title opening music is saturated with mystery and tension. But the love scene music is for me the most powerful. If you watch this great movie, this is the scene where James Stewert's character finds the woman (Kim Novak) who he fell in love with but thought was dead (long story). He realizes that it is her despite her "disguise", and then confronts her in her hotel room. What happens next has been studied by cinematographers for decades now as one of the true examples of pure genius film directing. The two characters do not move from their spots, but the camera moves slowly 360 degrees around them. As it does, the backround scenery changes from a hotel room to a previous important scene where they had been. I have always wondered if Herrmann watched and timed this scene before scoring the music. He had to, or else Steward and Novak did the scene with the score being somehow played. The timing between what happens on the screen and the music is so perfect. I have two excellent studio recordings of the soundtrack music to this movie. But this live performance by the RCO is better than either. So good!

Three protagonists in this film; James Stewart, Kim Novak and this terrifying soundtrack.
@danielpincus221
Deeply emotionally appropriate music at every level, for each scene. Never gets old.
