SYNOPSIS:
Music for the 1931 horror film classic Dracula by Tod Browning starring Béla
Lugosi.
NOTES:
The film is considered a classic. I felt the score needed to evoke the feeling
of the world of the 19th century — for that reason I decided a string
quartet would be the most evocative and effective. I wanted to stay away
from the obvious effects associated with horror films. With Kronos we were
able to add depth to the emotional layers of the film.
— Philip Glass
Suite from "Dracula" is a 28 minute arrangement by Michael Riesman for piano and strings.
