Review by Amber Henry

Wojciech Kilar's Bram Stoker's Dracula and Other Film Music is a masterpiece that showcases the brilliance of the composer's music. The album features the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Katowice and Cracow Philharmonic Chorus, conducted by Antoni Wit. The music is haunting, evocative, and enchanting, and it captures the essence of the films it was composed for.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Dracula," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The music is atmospheric, with a sense of foreboding and danger lurking in the background. The choral work is particularly impressive, adding an ethereal quality to the music.

Other standout tracks on the album include "The Brides," "The Storm," and "The Hunt Builds." The music is epic and cinematic, with a sense of drama and urgency that is hard to ignore. The orchestra and chorus work together seamlessly, creating a rich and complex sound that is both thrilling and emotional.
