Starts at 3:00 (anyone know what starts at :032? love that too), reaches it's climax with a shadowed Nosferatu framed by the castle door: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WccCWkIREv0 Also really love that triumpant part in Copeland's Appalachian Spring Edited December 13, 2016 by Rutlefan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 George Bizet Symphony 1 in C. He began writing it four days after he turned 17, and he completed it a month later. I absolutely adore this work. Bizet was considered to be the French Beethoven. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the film years ago and loved it, but never returned to it despite meaning to, apart from that piece from Wagner.

Rutlefan Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) "Brilliant remake from Herzog and Kinski as Dracula is just indescribably good." He was just playing Dracula?!? That guy has one of those faces, like Jack Palance, that seems carved out of stone and then animated. Unreal.
