Wojciech Kilar - Bram Stoker's Dracula OST


This is hands down, one of the best soundtracks to a horror movie ever penned. Wojciech Kilar has a very special and rare ability to use an instrument to grand effect, he knows how to use an instrument emotionally a great example of this can be heard on "Love Remembered" where he manages to create an emotional state with the bare help of a simple flute. Its very rare for a composer to capture the very essence of the instrument itself, and what's even more rare is how he manages to compile an album filled with various emotions like: sadness, loneliness, love, and lust.

It's very obvious what Wojciech Kilar tried to accomplish with this score, the wanted to make a soundtrack that is capable of adapting every kind of emotion from the aggressive, yet gentle "Vampire Hunters" to the heart drenching pain of "Love Eternal." It is very rare for a composer to capture the very heart of a movie or a play, but that is not the case with this soundtrack. The music here mirrors the movie in such a way that it leaves nothing to be desired. Wojciech Kilar manages to capture and explore the Dracula theme to the fullest.
