Dracula (album)
''Dracula'' is a soundtrack performed by the Kronos Quartet, with music composed by Philip Glass, for the 1931 film ''Dracula''.〔〔
==Genesis and performance==
The movie (directed by Tod Browning and starring Bela Lugosi) could be shown to audiences both as a silent movie and as a talkie, though conversation was limited to basic narrative elements. Unusually, it did not have a specific score and only two pieces of music on its soundtrack: Tchaikovsky's ''Swan Lake'' during the opening credits, and the overture of Wagner's ''Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg'' during a scene at an opera.
Glass was commissioned to write the score by Universal Studios Home Entertainment, which released the movie with the Glass-soundtrack on VHS and DVD in 1999. According to Glass, the choice of chamber music played by a string quartet rather than an orchestral score followed from the movie's setting, "libraries and drawing rooms and gardens."〔
Kronos and Glass (on piano) performed the score during viewings of the movie across the United States in 1999 and 2000 to promote the album. Other promotion efforts by Universal, which was trying to "reinvigorate and re-market" their Classical Monsters catalog, included discounts for buyers of multiple CDs, and a trailer for the movie on copies of the video release of ''The Mummy''.〔
